Is this expected in this beta?

Hi Thongchai,

That's definitely not expected. Are you debugging an Objective-C or Swift application? Can you see the variables with v instead of po?

I'm having the same issue. po and p doesn't print anything. v works as expected.

Having the same issue here, also when I right click on a variable and click "Print Description of <variable>" I get this in the console

It would be great to get Feedback tickets for those issues so that we can collect the appropriate logs.

I encounter this problem as well, Xcode 12 beta 2. Already posted a bug report. My message in the debugger window:
Code Block

Same problem for me. Getting output in the console, however can't debug myself. If I print any description I get Printing description of self: expression produced no result, right after Cannot create Swift scratch context (couldn't load the Swift stdlib).

The weird thing is that this worked for me last week, I haven't made any changes to lldb either. I removed Chisel in order to see if that would resolve my issue, which is does not.

Still broken in Xcode 12 beta 3 :-(

Does anyone know a work-around?

Finally got this to work. Try changing your shell from zsh to bash (then back if you need to). See my answer here.
