Interactive pyDev console at breakpoint

Question

I\'m using Aptana Studio with Pydev 1.5.3 to debug my Django applications. I use PyDev\'s remote debugger and some code in manage.py and for most of the time this setup is w

Answer 1

With PyDev 1.5.5 it should be possible:

1. In "Variables" view, you can right-click on a name, then select "change value".
2. The console is working as well, albeit a bit tricky.
   It is only for inspection and in a very strange way: you have to input the text in the "Debug server" console, and you will get the output in the "filename" console.
   Note also that you need to press enter twice, leaving an empty line.

While the "empty line" trick is documented, the issue about two different console for input and output is not, and I think it may be a bug.

Answer 2

strange, i am using pydev 1.5.6 for remote debugging and I can use the interactive console - i type the cmmand, hit enter, after a while get results back; check your firewall is not blocking anything (if you are sure, the interactive console works in local mode). there is even settings in pydev source code to set how much of stdout should be returned back to client (in chars), it should work

On my development stack running Apache + mod_wsgi entering commands into the console had their output routed to the site's error logs. To resolve this you have set the stdoutToServer=True and sterrToServer=True to route capture all output to the PyDev remote debugger:

from pydevsrc import pydevd;pydevd.settrace('192.168.2.8', stdoutToServer=True, stderrToServer=True) #clone and put on python path: https://github.com/tenXer/PyDevSrc

After some digging I discovered that I can use Expressions view to access variables properties and view results of class methods, but that still isn't a complete console at breakpoint though.
