[IronPython] Debugging in VS Expermental Hive

[mikhail.osadnik at realtimeworlds.com]

Hello

 

  A was hoping to get any help on ironpython scripts debugging under
Visual Studio 2008 Experimental Hive. The problem is it appears
impossible to watch variables in VS IDE .NET debugger apart from the
line number ($line) which is somewhat redundant. The setup code is as
follows:

        

C#

        ScriptRuntime Runtime = ScriptRuntime.Create ();

Runtime.GlobalOptions.DebugMode = true;

Runtime.ExecuteFile ( PyFile );

 

IronPython

        import System.Diagnostics

        System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break ()

somevar = 'some string'

print somevar

 

  So when a breakpoint fires I can go through the IronPython script
feeded to ExecuteFile in VS IDE with the debugger. However it appears
that plain script's variables in the watch window cannot be resolved.
I'd hoped to examine the scope of a script but it turned out that the
scope is available only after the ExecuteFile call is done. 

  So the question is - could it be possible to access scope's variables
while debugging with VS IDE debugger?

 

IronPython's version I am using is 2.0.0.1000

 

Cheers
