Sublime Debugger

Graphical Debugger for sublime text for debuggers that support the debug adapter protocol.

See Debug Adapter Protocol

Image of GUI

Installing

Using package control run Package Control: Install Package and select Debugger.

or clone into your sublime Packages directory (If you are on Sublime Text 3 use the st3 branch)

Getting Started

This project attempts to match Visual Studio Code's Debugger fairly closely so their documentation can be pretty helpful. See https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/debugging

Debuggers

This project comes with some pre-configured debuggers (They can be installed using Debugger: Install adapters)

LLDB
Chrome
Firefox
Node
Python
Go
PHP
Java
Emulicious Debugger

Setup

  • Open the debug panel

    • from the command palette Debugger: Open
  • Install a debug adapter by running: Debugger: Install adapter from the command palette.

  • Add a configuration Debugger: Add Configuration from the command palette (or add one manually, see below).

    • Configurations are added to debugger_configurations to your sublime-project and use the same configuration format as Visual Studio Code
    • Consult the debugger specific documentation links above for creating a configuration for your debugger. Most debuggers come with some configuration snippets to choose from but I highly recommend looking at the documentation for the debugger.
    • Variable substitution: variables like ${file} are supported but the list of supported variables differs from VSCode. The supported values are those listed at http://www.sublimetext.com/docs/build_systems.html#variables plus the VSCode-specific ${workspaceFolder} that resolves to the path of the first workspace folder.
  • Your configuration will look something like the following but with some debugger specific fields.

"debugger_configurations" : [
    {
        "name" : "Name of your configuration",
        "request" : "launch"|"attach",
        "type" : "debugger name",
         ...
    }
]
  • Start debugging
    • click the gear icon to select a configuration to use
    • click the play icon to start the debugger or run Debugger: Start (if no configuration is selected it will ask you to select or create one)

Tasks

Tasks are based on sublime build_systems with more integration so they can be used more seamlessly while debugging. When errors occur while running a task they are reported in the debugger ui (problem detection is the same as sublime, you must add file_regex to your task)

see https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/build_systems.html

Tasks are basically the same as sublime builds but there are a few additional parameters. name which will show up in the debugger UI and be the name of the panel

"debugger_tasks" : [
    {
        "name" : "Name of your task",
        "cmd" : ["task", "command"],
         ...
    }
]
  • Tasks can be run with Debugger: Run Tasks
  • You can run tasks before and after debugging by adding pre_debug_task or post_debug_task to your configuration specifying the name of the task to run.

Settings

Settings can be adjusted with Preferences: Debugger Settings

for a full list of settings see debugger.sublime-settings

Troubleshooting

  • To fix issues with things aligning correctly or the last panel not being visible try adjusting the internal_font_scale and internal_width_modifier in the settings
  • Look in the debug console for errors (usually red)
  • Look in the sublime console for errors
  • Try the same configuration/adapter in Visual Studio Code (There is a good chance your issue is with the adapter so check out the outstanding issues for it)
