Debugging python code.

[looo]

little side note: spyder has some nice tools to interactively test/ debug. Currently it only works with pyqt, but I already tried it with pyside and there is not much missing to make it work. Spyder is modular and maybe some widgets could be integrated in FreeCAD directly.

I assume that I have to copy something to do with rpdb2 to somewhere in FreeCAD

It's been a while I worked with Winpdb but IIRC you should put the file to a location where FreeCAD can find it.

Okay I am close but no cigar.

I start FreeCAD

I load my script

Code: Select all

import rpdb2
rpdb2.start_embedded_debugger("test")
import FreeCAD
open("/Users/keith/Desktop/Problem/test2.csg")

Code: Select all

press F6
Start winpdb
attach

In winpdb open source file .../importCSG.py
Set a break point in importCSG
press F6
And winpdb just stays STATE RUNNING and never seems to reach the breakpoint in importCSG.py

Also tried setting break point to open statement.
Will break there but STEP INTO does not seem to work, just says RUNNING again

Is anybody using winpdb to debug python code under FreeCAD?
