Querying a variable value while debugging, when hovering over it, stopped working

Reproduction Steps

  1. Put this on a script
local myVar = 123
print(myVar)
  1. Set a breakpoint on line 2 (print)
  2. Run
  3. When Studio pauses on line 2, hover the mouse over myVar

Expected Behavior
The variable’s value should be shown just above the mouse, as it always was.

Actual Behavior
Nothing is shown now.

Workaround
I am now forced to manually add the variable in “My Watches”.
And this is still buggy, as reported in Many bugs in Watch window

Well, after 2 updates, nothing has changed…
This bug is getting in the way of the debug workflow too much.

@rogeriodec_games Thanks for posting this. I came here to post this same issue. Have been having it for almost a month now and figured it would be resolved quickly but apparently not. This is causing debug times to take so much longer and its very frustrating.

I am hoping this gets resolved soon because just hovering to see a variable is so much more useful than print debugging! :frowning:

Any update on the ticket?

Let’s get past the char limit

I have also been getting frustrated at this, I am being forced to use print to debug and it’s making debugging times much longer than before
