Global variables do not seem to carry over to loaded modules

[yoshi1123]

Reproduce example:

file1.lua:

g = "global"
require("file2.lua")

file2.lua

print(g)

Running file.lua with Lua will print "global", but running file.lua in the debugger will print nil.

This looks like a bug with the interpreter mode's environment. Until it's fixed, you can work around it by running lua as a custom environment:

{
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Debug Lua",
            "type": "lua-local",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": {
                "command": "lua",
            },
            "args": ["file1.lua"]
        }
    ]
}
