Debugging Python script in RAD 8.5 using Pydev

Question

I have a RAD 8.5 ( Eclipse version 3.6.3 ) workspace with PyDev plugin installed ( version 2.8.2 ) that I have been using to debug python scripts.

In the past, I was able to debug python scripts in the workspace.

Today, when I run the script without debug mode, it works.

But When attempting to use Debug on the same script, I get the below error.

Timed out after 20.0 seconds while waiting for python script to connect.
Accept timed out

What can I do or check so that I can debug the scripts?

Answer 1

This usually means you have some firewall enabled which is preventing the debugger to connect to the target (take a look at your error log to see if that's the issue... see: http://pydev.org/faq.html#PyDevFAQ-HowdoIReportaBUG%3F for details on getting it).

You could also try using the remote debugger with a programmatic breakpoint: http://pydev.org/manual_adv_remote_debugger.html to see if you have different results.
