Hi,
I am new to Eric but I like the IDE as far as I have explored it. I
though have some problems.
My environment: Eric 4.2.1 (r2426) on MacOSX with Python 2.5.1.
The problem: The debugger stopped working. (I think it has worked at
the very beginning, at least I cannot remember that I have seen the
error message there.) The first thing after I start the IDE is the
following message in the Log-viewer:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/eric4/DebugClients/Python/
DebugClient.py", line 38, in <module>
debugClient.main()
File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/eric4/DebugClients/Python/
DebugClientBase.py", line 1858, in main
self.connectDebugger(port, remoteAddress, redirect)
File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/eric4/DebugClients/Python/
DebugClientBase.py", line 960, in connectDebugger
sock.connect((DebugAddress,port))
File "<string>", line 1, in connect
socket.error: (49, "Can't assign requested address")
I also get the same message in the Shell:
StdErr: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/eric4/DebugClients/Python/
DebugClient.py", line 38, in <module>
debugClient.main()
File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/eric4/DebugClients/Python/
DebugClientBase.py", line 1858, in main
self.connectDebugger(port, remoteAddress, redirect)
File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/eric4/DebugClients/Python/
DebugClientBase.py", line 960, in connectDebugger
sock.connect((DebugAddress,port))
File "<string>", line 1, in connect
socket.error: (49, "Can't assign requested address")
This comes right after the start. But also when I try to debug any
script, I get this message again and the debugger also seems not to
work.
I browsed a bit through the code of Eric4 to understand the debugging
system. It seems that the IDE is starting a debug-server (the
DebugServer class) which is built into the IDE and then it starts an
external Python tool, the DebugClient, which connects over a TCP port
to the DebugServer. The DebugServer provides all debugging functions
and the DebugClient controls that.
I wondered now a bit about the message from DebugClient. "Can't assign
requested address" normally only appears if you used a invalid port
number, like 0. On all other ports, it should give the message
"Connection refused". I also tried that myself:
Macintosh:~ az$ python /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/eric4/
DebugClients/Python/DebugClient.py 1
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/eric4/DebugClients/Python/
DebugClient.py", line 38, in <module>
debugClient.main()
File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/eric4/DebugClients/Python/
DebugClientBase.py", line 1858, in main
self.connectDebugger(port, remoteAddress, redirect)
File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/eric4/DebugClients/Python/
DebugClientBase.py", line 960, in connectDebugger
sock.connect((DebugAddress,port))
File "<string>", line 1, in connect
socket.error: (61, 'Connection refused')
And:
Macintosh:~ az$ python /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/eric4/
DebugClients/Python/DebugClient.py 0
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/eric4/DebugClients/Python/
DebugClient.py", line 38, in <module>
debugClient.main()
File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/eric4/DebugClients/Python/
DebugClientBase.py", line 1858, in main
self.connectDebugger(port, remoteAddress, redirect)
File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/eric4/DebugClients/Python/
DebugClientBase.py", line 960, in connectDebugger
sock.connect((DebugAddress,port))
File "<string>", line 1, in connect
socket.error: (49, "Can't assign requested address")
Then, to go further, I tried to figure out on which port the server
was listening. I browsed through the code and it seems that the server
just uses a random port (it does not specify that). I thought I
perhaps try out to connect to that port manually with the DebugClient.
But it seems that the server was not correctly started, because Python
has not opened any port:
Macintosh:~ az$ lsof -i -P | grep -i python
Python 24119 az 8u IPv6 0x3e524bc 0t0 TCP *:* (CLOSED)
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Albert
