TurboGears 2.3: debug through Eclipse

Question

In TurboGears 2.2, creating a tg_launch.py file with the following code would allow to debug it using breakpoint in Eclipse (PyDev plugin is installed):

if __name__ == '__main__':
    from paste.script.serve import ServeCommand
    ServeCommand("serve").run(["development.ini"])

Now, with TG 2.3, paste has been replaced with gearbox and I can't seem to figure out what the new code should be. I tried using the ServeCommand in gearbox.commands.serve but could not get the arguments right...

Can anyone help me out?

Answer 1

I believe I found the proper way to do it. Here is the code to to put in the "tg_launch.py":

if __name__ == '__main__':
    from gearbox.main import GearBox
    gearbox = GearBox()
    gearbox.run(["serve", "--config=development.ini"])

If you want to debug your setup (bootstrap code) use the following:

    gearbox.run(["setup-app", "--config=development.ini"])

Refer to http://turbogears.readthedocs.org/en/latest/turbogears/gearbox.html for all available commands and options.
