[SOLVED] How to debug a python script in SOFA?

[Zahra]

Hi,

I changed a .scn file to a python script and I did some changes inside the .py file. When I run the file in the terminal, I see my changes has not been applied. I know there are some errors in the file, but I receive no error in the terminal.
On the other hand, When I run .py in spyder, it gives me “ImportError: No module named Sofa”. How can I know what are the errors in my file? More generally, how can I debug a python script in SOFA?

kind regards,
Zahra

Hi Zahra,

In general, you can use the python debugger pdb directly in the terminal
https://docs.python.org/2.0/lib/module-pdb.html

Or inside an IDE such as Spyder which supports pdb as well
https://pythonhosted.org/spyder/debugging.html

I hope this will help,

Python has a debugger , which is available as a module called pdb . It supports setting conditional breakpoints , stepping through the source code one line at a time, stack inspection, and more.

import pdb
msg = "this is a test"
pdb.set_trace()
print(msg)

Insert pdb.set_trace() anywhere and it will function as a breakpoint . When you execute the script by python test.py, you will in the debug mode.
