Text Debugging

Adds prinf-style debugging. Select some variables or expressions and a blank line, and this command will insert language-appropriate debugging statements. I try to insert dynamic line numbers when possible (easy in some languages, impossible in others). It falls back to static line numbers if the language doesn't have “compile time” line numbers.

Installation

1. Using Package Control, install “TextDebugging”

Or:

1. Open the Sublime Text 3 Packages folder

- OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/
- Windows: %APPDATA%/Sublime Text 3/Packages/
- Linux: ~/.Sublime Text 3/Packages/

1. clone this repo
2. Install keymaps for the commands (see Example.sublime-keymap for my preferred keys)

Commands

text_debugging: Select multiple variables, then put an empty cursor somewhere and run this command (default: ctrl+p twice or ctrl+p,p). You'll get some good debug output that looks like this (Python example):

print("""=============== Untitled at line {0} ===============
looks: {1!r}
like: {2!r}
this: {3!r}
""".format(__import__('sys')._getframe().f_lineno - 2, looks, like, this, ))

This package supports many languages, here's a ruby example:

puts("=============== at line 49 ===============
looks: #{looks.inspect}
like: #{like.inspect}
this: #{this.inspect}")
