Debugging Maya with Pycharm

[Russel Rehmund]

Anyone have experience attaching the Pycharm debugger to a Maya process?  I thought I should be able to see my Maya process to attach to, but it doesn't appear in the list.  I had this working before but I can't remember what I did differently.  Anyone done this could share how it's set up?

Thanks

I've never been able to get this to work. I would love to know how to do this magical thing....

Isn't the debugger looking for Python processes to attach to? How would it step through Maya if it could attach to it? Would you expect to step through C++ frames?

Sorry, I meant to say a mayapy process, as in a tool or such launched within Maya.  I was looking at this video posted, but couldn't get it to work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxyaHFqtTCM

Also trying Mayacharm's new release but need to figure out how to handle some studio-specific issues to get that one to find the process to attach to correctly.

Oh I see. Thanks for clarifying. Well I did try a mayapy process via Intellij Ultimate. It was able to see the mayapy pid without having to modify that registry setting as per the video. Although it failed to actually connect to it and start the debugging session.

Or if you're using eclipse (pycharm uses the same Package and can follow the same steps)
