Help, I need to debug an AddOn in real-time (installed & run from Blender.)
While I am an experienced programmer in several languages, Python is not one of them.
I’m trying to fix an AddOn written by someone else. Released as a Beta, the creator is no longer around to finish the job.
The AddOn is active from the moment Blender starts (adding a new Tab to the left margin), so placing “debugger” commands at the top of the script only crashes Blender.
If only I could set breakpoints and view the contents of variables the way I do with Visual Studio, I’d be set. :eyebrowlift:
Thanks. I’ll check it out and see if it helps me debug the script.
Unfortunately, sharing the script wouldn’t help. It calls external apps from some in-house software to do it’s work.
The problem is I know what is wrong (it’s writing to bad paths), but can’t pause the script and display the contents of variables/functions so I can see where things are going wrong.
