break point debug in robot

[chuny...@alcatel-sbell.com.cn]

Issue 1282:

Document how to debug execution with `pdb` in User Guide introduced how to break into debugging in robot.

but I can not make it work.

what I did :

I created a python keyword send_cli_command, and insert syntax "import sys, pdb; pdb.Pdb(stdout=sys.__stdout__).set_trace()" in it.

I run the keyword and expect a break point . but robot did not stop at the point, insteadly, following error was report :

 ERROR Error in file '/repo/root/robot/ATS/TEST/test.txt': Importing test library '/repo/root/robot/ATS/TEST/get_var.py' failed: BdbQuit Traceback (most recent call last): File "/repo/root/robot/ATS/TEST/get_var.py", line 8, in <module> pdb.Pdb(stdout=sys.__stdout__).set_trace() File "/opt/robot/Python-2.7/lib/python2.7/bdb.py", line 53, in trace_dispatch return self.dispatch_return(frame, arg) File "/opt/robot/Python-2.7/lib/python2.7/bdb.py", line 91, in dispatch_return if self.quitting: raise BdbQuit

anyone can help to let me know the correct usage ?

thanks in advance.

If you are using RIDE, you cannot use sys.stdin because it will just cause EOF. Try also setting stdin=sys.__stdin__ as seen in this post:

Hi:

 

Thanks for your help. But it didn’t work till now. Any more advice?

 

Yes, I am using RIDE. And I attached the test case and error log to display my usage.

Have you tried running from the command line? When running from RIDE, there is nowhere to get input. I am sure there is a way to get it to work in RIDE, but not sure if it is worth the extra effort.

I was getting the same problem as you without setting stdin when I wrote that linked post - after adding the stdin arg, it worked. Now, trying again, it is working without setting stdin. Strange.

I had tried in pybot command mode. Yes, it work.
