Salesforce DX Apex Debugging license issue

[thvd]

At best described here: https://salesforce.stackexchange.com/questions/214760/salesforce-dx-apex-debugging-license-issue

Basically, i don't get the Apex debugger to work on Scratch orgs. The question i have, is the debugger dependent on the Salesforce license used in the Dev Hub?

@thvd - Did your org purchase any debugger licenses for the dev hub? Or did you get this as part of being an ISV.

I'm thinking what is going on is that you are actually an ISV. ISV's are granted a debugger license that can only be used to debug in their subscriber orgs. See https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.eclipse.meta/eclipse/debugger_isv_limits_considerations.htm

If that is the case, then we need to update the message in the DevHub to change from "Your child orgs aren't using any Apex Debugger licenses. You have 1 license available." --> (Something like) "DevHub is a production org and states Your child orgs aren't using any Apex Debugger licenses. You have 1 license available that you can use for ISV debugging."

We have had similar confusion on this error before. Is it possible to include a link in the error message? I think we just need a help document explaining why this error happens and what the possible solutions are, including purchasing a license.

@ntotten - Yup, awaiting confirmation from the customer that this is due to the same issue. If it is, then a better UI text would help. If not, then we need to debug more.

@vazexqi - Quick question regarding Apex Debugger. How does the session limit work? Per developer or per org? Meaning for example, if Developer A has a session open can Developer B open another session?
Thanks!

[ntotten]

@maruchymurphy79 Licenses for the interactive debugger are 1 session per license. Regardless of org, if 1 developer is using the license no other developer can use it at the same time.

@ntotten - Thanks for the clarification
