How to debug a mock

[jma55875]

Hello,

I’m developping a mock for my platform following your documentation available here https://docs.microej.com/en/latest/PlatformDeveloperGuide/mock.html and wonder how to debug my mock. Is it possible to do it ?

Best regards,

Hello Jean,

Yes it is possible !

You can follow those steps to debug a mock, assuming that you already have a platform imported in your workspace and a mock of your project:

• In your platform sources, enable HIL debugging:

  • Open the scripts/hil.xml file

  • Copy the following line.

    <jvmarg line="-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,suspend=y,server=y,address=8000"/>

  • Add it under the VM lauching HIL Engine part:

    

• Increase the connection timeout between the simulator and the HIL engine:

  • Go to Run -> Run Configurations

  • Go to the Simulator section of the Configuration tab and increase the HIL connection timeout:

    

• Put a breakpoint in your mock-up code

• Run your application on the simulator

• You should get in the Console:

  =============== [ Initialization Stage ] ===============
  =============== [ Launching on Simulator ] ===============
  Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 8000
  

• Attach a Java standard debug launcher:

  • In the package explorer, select your mock-up project

    • Go to the Run > Debug Configurations... menu

    • Double click on Remote Java Application

    • Let the default options:
      

      

    • Click on the Debug button

• You should get stopped in you mock-up code:

  

Let me know if you have any troubles completing those steps.

Best regards,
