Manually Configured Remote Debugging Example
Here is a simple example that enables debugging a process running on a Linux host with IP address 192.168.1.200, using Wing running on a Windows host with IP address 192.168.1.210.
Configuring the Connection
On the Windows host, the following preferences must be specified:
- The Debugger > Listening > Accept Debug Connections preference should be enabled
- The Debugger > Listening > Server Host preference should be set to All Interfaces (this is the default)
- The Debugger > Listening > Server Port preference should be set to 50005 (this is the default)
On the Linux host, the following value is needed in wingdbstub.py:
kWingHostPort='192.168.1.210:50005'
Once this is done and Wing has been restarted, you should be able to run code that imports wingdbstub on the Linux host and see the debug connection establish on the Windows host.
File Sharing and Location Map
Next you will need to set up file sharing between the two machines (for example, with Samba) and then establish a location map in your Wing preferences on the Windows host.
After file sharing has been set up, you can add all your source files to your project, to allow Wing to automatically discover the locations of files on the local and remote host without any other configuration. See File Location Maps for details.
