===================== collective.debugtools
An add-on for Plone that provides remote debugging via debugpy for developers.
Features
- Remote debugging — activates
debugpyat import time when theDEBUGPY_ENABLEDenvironment variable is set. Supports listening on a configurable host:port and optionally waiting for a debugger client to attach.
Remote debugging (debugpy)
No Plone configuration is needed — the add-on reacts to environment variables when the Python process starts.
Set DEBUGPY_ENABLED to 1, true, or y to activate::
DEBUGPY_ENABLED=1 ./bin/instance fg
Use the following env vars to control the debug server:
DEBUGPY_ENABLED
Set to 1, true, or y to enable debugpy. Default: unset (off).
DEBUGPY_HOST
Host to bind. Default: localhost.
DEBUGPY_PORT
Port to listen on. Default: 5678.
DEBUGPY_WAIT_FOR_CLIENT
Set to 1, true, or y to halt Plone start-up until a debugger
client connects. Default: unset (no wait).
Example enabling debugpy with wait-for-client::
DEBUGPY_ENABLED=1 DEBUGPY_WAIT_FOR_CLIENT=1 ./bin/instance fg
Any debugpy-compatible client (VS Code, PyCharm, ptvsd, etc.) can then
connect to localhost:5678.
Installation
Add collective.debugtools to your buildout::
[buildout]
...
eggs =
collective.debugtools
Then run bin/buildout and install the add-on in Plone's Add-ons control
panel.
Alternatively, install via pip in a Plone environment::
pip install collective.debugtools
