Environment data

• VS Code version: 1.32.3
• Extension version (available under the Extensions sidebar): 2019.3.6139
• OS and version: Windows 10
• Python version (& distribution if applicable, e.g. Anaconda): 3.6.2
• Type of virtual environment used (N/A | venv | virtualenv | conda | ...): virtualenv

Expected behaviour

I should be able to inspect inside any variable placed in the "Watch" section.

Actual behaviour

Yesterday, I was able to inspect inside any variable placed in the "Watch" section. However, today, I can only inspect the automatic variables placed under "Locals". See image below:

This happens also to a colleague of mine since today. Is it because an update of the extension?

I am also getting the same issue

@fabioz Looks like we are not providing variableReference correctly for evaluations.
what it should return:
{"result": "[1, 2, 3]", "variablesReference": 6, "type": "list", "presentationHint": {}}
actual:
{"result": "[1, 2, 3]", "variablesReference": 0, "type": "list", "presentationHint": {}}

I'll take a look at it.
