SketchUp Debugging for Notepad++
-
I've been playing with this Notepad++ plugin for a few weeks, and I want to get something released so you can give it a test run.
The easiest way to try is to download this (no install) .zip which contains a portable version of Notepad++, PythonScript, and everything else you need to try it.
When you unzip the file, you can start SketchUp and Notepad++ using the Shortcuts provided. Be sure to install the debugger .dll first if you have not already done so.
There are some quick instructions on the Github repo. I know it's a little short on documentation, but it should not be too hard to figure out. The problem is I don't really use Notepad++, don't know Python well enough yet to do it better, and have already spent too much time on it.
So hopefully people can provide feedback and code improvements either here or through Github.
Let me know if you have any trouble.

I have not tried your latest because you've included NPP and PythonScript, and I have BOTH of them at latest version already installed.
This means I'll have to cherry-pick your repo and manually copy files over to my machine.
Because you also have a non-standard install, it is not likely forking your repo will do me any good. -
The PythonScript was one I compiled from the latest source so I could use a margin click to set/del breakpoints.
The repo has been changing rapidly, and destructively. It now contains just the debugger plugin and closely related files. I hope this will be the final layout of the repo.
The files in the .zip are all stand-alone and don't require installation. Just unzip and go. They won't interfere with your installed versions. Only the SURubyDebugger.dll needs copied to SketchUp's root folder, but there is a script included to help with that.
I felt this was an easier way to let people try this early version without needing a complicated and confusing installation of all the software required.

This only works with Sketchup 2014/ Ruby 2, right ?
I havent followed along the Ruby 2 activities

Ok, thanks.
-
Updated the .zip to v0.2
- Added a new margin for Breakpoints. Simply click on margin to add/remove breakpoints. (Breakpoints are represented as a red arrow.)
- Updated toolbar (Tooltips are not supported, unfortunately.)
- Added better exception handling and messages.
-
No interest?
-
Sure there is!
I've not had time to use it, but it seems promising
-
ditto.

does the plugin work for SU 2015?

The plugin is for the editor Notepad++. The SketchUp Ruby Debugger works with SketchUp 15, so yes you should be able to connect Notepad++ to the SketchUp debug server.

Hi Ying,
I haven't tried it in years. This was more a proof-of-concept than a finished plugin. I was disappointed with the poor integration of the plugin with the Notepad++ user interface. The plugin is written in Python and uses the PythonScript plugin for Notepad++.
I have just now been trying to get this to work on version 6.9.1 but so far have not had success getting Python Script to work.

Hi Jim, Thanks for your answer,I'm looking forward to it can succeed.

You can try it by downloading this file.
Extract the .zip and start Notepad++ by clicking the notepad++.exe file inside.
Open a Ruby extension to debug. Press F5 to start SketchUp in Debug mode.
Press the SketchUp Icon in the toolbar - this will start SketchUp and add a new margin in the editor - click on the margin to set breakpoints.

It looks like SketchUp is not running the debug server. Start SketchUp from Notepad++ by pressing the F5 key. This launches SketchUp using this command line:
Sketchup.exe -rdebug "ide port=1234"If you need to change which version of SketchUp, or the location of SketchUp then edit the "shortcuts.xml" file in the NPP folder.
SketchUp must be started with the debug server enabled before pressing the SketchUp icon from the editor.
Again, this debugger is never going to work well because of limitations in PythonScript for Notepad++ and in the SketchUp debug server.
I have tried to fix your error. Extract the file "sudb.py" and replace it in the "plugins\Config\PythonScript\scripts" folder.

Sorry,it don't work：
Connecting to SketchUp..
socket error: [Errno 10061]
Could not connect to SketchUp. -
Here is a link to Windows socket errors.

10061 Connection refused.
No connection could be made because the target computer actively refused it. This usually results from trying to connect to a service that is inactive on the foreign host—that is, one with no server application running.How are you starting SketchUp?
