Sublime PDB Finder

A Sublime Text 2 plugin to extract and list Python PDB lines from open files and project folders.

Install

The preferred method is to use the Sublime Package Manager. Once you have Package Control installed, just search for PDB Finder.

Alternatively, checkout from github:

$ cd Sublime Text 2/Packages

$ git clone https://github.com/aleGpereira/sublime-pdb-finder.git

Config

All plugin configuration must be placed in user or project-specific settings inside a pdbfinder object, for example;

{
    // other user config ...
    "pdbfinder": {
        "patterns": {}
    }
}

An example

"pdbfinder": {
    "file_exclude_patterns": [
        "*.css",
        "*.po",
        "*.mo",
        "*.pyc"
    ],
    "folder_exclude_patterns": [
        "static",
        "vendor",
        "tmp"
    ],
    "case_sensitive": true,
    "result_title": "PDB Results"
},

Adding patterns

Extraction uses regular expressions that return one match group representing the message. Since this plugin is set to search for Python pdb's, you can add patterns to provide PDB lines in some other language. To override or provide more patterns, add patterns to user settings, e.g.

"patterns": {
    'PDB': r'(?P<pdb>import[\s]*pdb[\s]*;[\s]*pdb\.set_trace\(\).*)$',
}

Note that the pattern must provide at least one named group which will be used to group the comments in results.

By default, searching is not case sensitive. You can change this behaviour by adding

"case_sensitive": true

to the pdbfinder settings object.

Excluding files and folders

Global settings folder_exclude_patterns, file_exclude_patterns and binary_file_patterns are excluded from search results.

To exclude further directories, add directory names (not glob pattern or regexp) to folder_exclude_patterns in Pdbfinder settings:

"pdbfinder": {
    "folder_exclude_patterns": [
        "vendor", 
        "tmp"
    ]
}

To add file excludes, add glob patterns to file_exclude_patterns:

"file_exclude_patterns": [
    "*.css"
]

Results title

Override the results view title by setting result_title

"result_title": "PDBs Results"

Usage

• Find PDBs: Project and open files scans all files in your project.

• Find PDBs: Open files only scans only open, saved files.

Both are triggered from the command palette. No default key bindings are provided.

If we have results, a list is going to be show with:

• The file name.

• The line in wich that pdb can be found.

• The content of the next line, if we have one. If not, EOF is shown.

Navigating results

Results can be navigated by keyboard and mouse:

• n ext, p revious, c lear, enter
• alt-double click (shift-double click in Linux)

Note that due to the lack of support for context in mousemaps right now, alt-double click will trigger in any document, though it should be a no-op.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE

Sublime PDB Finder has been inherited from SublimeTODO by his author Rob Cowie. I really liked that tool. So thanks to him too!!.
