Debug Pylons application through Eclipse

Question

I have Eclipse setup with PyDev and love being able to debug my scripts/apps. I\'ve just started playing around with Pylons and was wondering if there is a way to start up

Answer 1

I also got this working (finally). I used buildout instead of virtualenv to install pylons (instructions at: http://wiki.pylonshq.com/display/pylonscommunity/Howto+install+Pylons+with+buildout), so the instructions above needed to be changed a little as far as the paths go.

-for "Main Module", I use:

${workspace_loc:myeclipseprojectname/bin/paster}

(adding --reload made breakpoints not work for me, and I tested this a couple times)

-for "Program Arguments", I use:

serve ${workspace_loc:myeclipseprojectname/mypylonsprojectname/development.ini}

-for "Working Directory, Other:", I use:

${workspace_loc:myeclipseprojectname/mypylonsprojectname}

-as mentioned above, in "Common Tab", "Check allocate console and launch in background"

-and remember to set a breakpoint before trying.
