Eclipse Oxygen.3a, RED 0.8.6.201806181254, pydevd-1.2.0 and runPyDevDebug.py

[saskell]

I had a heck of a time following the instructions in http://nokia.github.io/RED/help/user_guide/launching/debug/robot_python_debug.html and getting python debugging to work.

I would get this error: "-m" is not recognized as an internal or external command. See below for details.

I finally hacked runPyDevDebug.py to where it would run - see attached.

So what am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Hi,

It looks like process run command is not created correctly.

Can you try following script:
runPyDevDebug.py.txt

[saskell]

Thanks modrz!

I tried your file and it failed... it looked like the --listener option was getting munged so I changed this line in LocalPythonDebug() from:

command = [sys.executable, '-u'] + pydevdPath + pydevdArgs + sys.argv[4:]

to:

command = [sys.executable, '-u'] + pydevdPath + pydevdArgs + sys.argv[3:]

Do you agree with this change (full modified file runPyDevDebug.py.txt attached)?

Thanks!
Scott

[modrz]

Actually command creation line should look like:

command = [sys.executable, '-u'] + pydevdPath + pydevdArgs + sys.argv[sys.argv.index('robot.run') + 1:]

[saskell]

Yes - that's a better more robust implementation. And I tested it out and it works.

I think that version should be committed to the repo (?)

Thanks for your help!

Ok, thanks for confirmation.
Script will be released with next version.
Moreover it will be fixed to work on linux also.

[saskell]

I grabbed the latest version today, and am using the latest runPyDevDebug.py without modification just fine.
Thanks!
