1712173 - Devtools Support for Class Static Blocks

Status: NEW

(DevTools :: Console, task)

Description

[Matthew Gaudet (he/him) [:mgaudet]]

Class static blocks allow one to add execution inside a class definition like:

class A { 
  x = 10;
  static { 
   print("hi, from within class definition")
  }
}

This bug is for tracking devtools updates related to this language feature.

thanks for filing this Matthew!

This will probably impact our parser worker.
We should also check the impact on the debugger:

• make sure that we can pause in static blocks
• maybe display those blocks in the outline panel

I did verify we can stop and execute expressions with a debugger; statement test in the patch adding basic support
