Debugging options in Sikuli IDE --- not planned --- use PyCharms

Asked by Sandeep

Hi Raiman,

First of all thanks for your efforts in maintaining sikuli and providing us regular updates and bug fixes.

I wanted to inquire if you have any plans to introduce advanced debugging options (add breakpoint/examine variables at runtime) in the near future as it is the only thing missing in the IDE.

Have a great day.

Regards,
Sandeep

Thanks for kind feedback.

Sorry, no, I do not have plans, to add such features to the IDE.

If you really want to debug your scripts, just use PyCharms.

You might use the IDE and PyCharms in parallel:
- the IDE for managing your images, optionally add code and run the script.
- PyCharms to run and debug your script.

The only caveat: If you change the script in PyCharms, you have to close/reopen it in the IDE, since the IDE other than PyCharms does not auto-detect external file changes.

As Jython I recommend to use the version 2.7.2. Just install it manually and configure PyCharms accordingly.

I have on the list, to make this combination a bit more comfortable in version 2.0.5

All the best

I have to check, how 2.0.5 with the bundled Jython 2.7.2 behaves in PyCharms.

An IDE like PyCharms will always be needed to debug SikuliX scripts.

Can you help with this problem?
