Re: [Eric] Access running eric4 instance through its shell?

2010-01-25 Thread Larry Shaffer
Detlev,

Sorry for the late reply. I noticed the plugin PDF yesterday, a little too
late for my first go at a plugin. Serves me right! I'm usually the one who
tells people to 'read the manual.' The instructions and reference are great.
The setup you have created for debugging plugins is very convenient. I used
it to create another plugin in about half the time as the first.

Might be nice if the plugin docs were in the help viewer somehow. (I didn't
think to look in the source directory until later.)

Thanks,
-- 
Larry

 Hi,
 
 first of all your plug-in project should have the project type Eric Plugin.
 The main script should be the file that starts with Plugin When you
 run/debug/... your plug-in project, the plug-in is run inside a fresh eric4
 instance. All this and much more is described in the plug-in document
 available in the eric4 package. I highly recommend reading it.
 
 Regards,
 Detlev

 Hi,
 
 I'm not quite clear on this. Would I need to debug a project that is the
 full eric4? (i.e. Load eric4 into eric4?) Or, can I debug the plugin's file
 directly? If so, how?
 
 Or, can the breakpoint info saved with the plugin's file, and eric4 goes
 into debug mode when the plugin is run, but without loading eric4 inside
 eric4?

 Hi,
 
 Is it possible to access the running instance of eric4 that you are
 working in through its Python shell? Or, is there another way to 'see'
 inside of eric4 to help when making plugins, etc?
 
 When you are debugging your plugin within eric, you may set a breakpoint
 anywhere you like. Just make sure, that the Trace into interpreter
 libraries is checked.
