Set remote debug option with Wizard script [SOLVED]

[oBFusCATed]

You need to apply this patch:

And then use code like:

Code

project.AddToExtensions(_T("debugger/remote_debugging:target=Debug"));
project.AddToExtensions(_T("debugger/remote_debugging/options:conn_type=0"));
project.AddToExtensions(_T("debugger/remote_debugging/options:serial_baud=115200"));
project.AddToExtensions(_T("debugger/remote_debugging/options:ip_address=127.0.0.1"));
project.AddToExtensions(_T("debugger/remote_debugging/options:ip_port=3333"));

project.CallHooks(true);

I won't apply this patch in trunk, because there is a plan to replace the script bindings code with a newer binding library, so I don't want to cause conflicts.
Also I have plans to remove the whole project hooks in the future and thus I'll have to remove this call, which means I'll have to break users scripts.

Hi,

Sorry for reviving this topic again. I am doing this bcz my query is related to all the changes suggested here

I am facing sokme difficulties in project.AddtoExtension command in wizard.script file.
What I want is : (within cbp file of generated project from wizard)

                    <remote_debugging>
               <options conn_type="0" serial_baud="115200" additional_cmds="monitor halt;monitor flash erase_address 0x0 0x10000;load bin/Debug/rth.elf;file bin/Debug/rth.elf;monitor halt; />
            </remote_debugging>
                                <remote_debugging target="Debug">
               <options conn_type="0" serial_baud="115200" additional_cmds="monitor halt;monitor flash erase_address 0x0 0x10000;load bin/Debug/rth.elf;file bin/Debug/rth.elf;monitor halt; />
            </remote_debugging>
            <remote_debugging target="Release">
               <options conn_type="0" serial_baud="115200" additional_cmds="monitor halt;monitor flash erase_address 0x0 0x10000;load bin/Release/rth.elf;file bin/Release/rth.elf;monitor halt; />
            </remote_debugging>

To get this as output, I use one of the suggestion mentioned earlier - To use "scriptadd" in defining path, like this

Code

local additional_commands = _T("monitor halt\n") +
                                _T("monitor flash erase_address 0x0 0x10000\n") +
                                _T("load bin/Debug/") + projectName + _T(".elf\n") +    // load /bin/debug/ will not work
                                _T("file bin/Debug/") + projectName + _T(".elf\n") +
                                _T("monitor halt\n");

        local additional_commands1 = _T("monitor halt\n") +
                                _T("monitor flash erase_address 0x0 0x10000\n") +
                                _T("load bin/Release/") + projectName + _T(".elf\n") +    // load /bin/debug/ will not work
                                _T("file bin/Release/") + projectName + _T(".elf\n") +
                                _T("monitor halt\n");

    project.AddToExtensions(_T("debugger/scriptadd/remote_debugging/options:additional_cmds=") + additional_commands);

    project.AddToExtensions(_T("debugger/scriptadd/remote_debugging:target=Release"));
    project.AddToExtensions(_T("debugger/scriptadd/remote_debugging/options:additional_cmds=") + additional_commands1);

The problem is whenever I do this,

    project.AddToExtensions(_T("debugger/scriptadd/remote_debugging:target=Release"));
    project.AddToExtensions(_T("debugger/scriptadd/remote_debugging/options:additional_cmds=") + additional_commands1);

Above function replaces the below function

project.AddToExtensions(_T("debugger/scriptadd/remote_debugging/options:additional_cmds=") + additional_commands);

Now I can only see 1 of above.
Is there any method that I can used to get the desired output?

Outcome I am getting is

            <remote_debugging target="Release">
               <options conn_type="0" serial_baud="115200" additional_cmds="monitor halt;monitor flash erase_address 0x0 0x10000;load bin/Release/rth.elf;file bin/Release/rth.elf;monitor halt; />
            </remote_debugging>

Just for Reference, I tries to use this solution, available here only a few comments before

Something like this?

You could then add something to "debugger/scriptadd/x", which would then be converted to "debugger/x" on first save (or load)

Yes it's a hack, but minimally intrusive, and the whole AddToExtension interface seems a bit q&d to me...
* cb_dbgscradd.patch

Is anyone can help me with this? Any possible solution?

[anandamu16]

Anyone can provide any solution or any way to achieve the desired possibility in codeblocks?

It seems I need to make a few modifications in debuggergdb.cpp

[BlueHazzard]

Hmm, i don't quire understand your question:

    project.AddToExtensions(_T("debugger/scriptadd/remote_debugging:target=Release"));
    project.AddToExtensions(_T("debugger/scriptadd/remote_debugging/options:additional_cmds=") + additional_commands1);

can you replay exactly what the outcome is, and what you want?

Does

Code

project.AddToExtensions(_T("debugger/scriptadd/remote_debugging:target=Release"));

overwrites

Code

 project.AddToExtensions(_T("debugger/scriptadd/remote_debugging/options:additional_cmds=") + additional_commands1);

??

What is the desired outcome of this:

Code

project.AddToExtensions(_T("debugger/scriptadd/remote_debugging:target=Release"));

?

thank you for the patience

[anandamu16]

Code I am using in wizard script file:

Code

                     project.AddToExtensions(_T("debugger/scriptadd/remote_debugging:target=Debug"));
                     project.AddToExtensions(_T("debugger/scriptadd/remote_debugging/options:conn_type=0"));
                     project.AddToExtensions(_T("debugger/scriptadd/remote_debugging/options:serial_baud=115200"));

            local additional_commands1 = _T("monitor halt\n") +
                                _T("monitor flash erase_address 0x0 0x10000\n") +
                                _T("load bin/Debug/\n") + projectName + _T(".elf\n") +
                                _T("file bin/Debug/") + projectName + _T(".elf\n") +
                                _T("monitor halt\n");

                   project.AddToExtensions(_T("debugger/scriptadd/remote_debugging/options:additional_cmds=") + additional_commands1);

                     project.AddToExtensions(_T("debugger/scriptadd/remote_debugging:target=Release"));
                     project.AddToExtensions(_T("debugger/scriptadd/remote_debugging/options:conn_type=0"));
                     project.AddToExtensions(_T("debugger/scriptadd/remote_debugging/options:serial_baud=115200"));

            local additional_commands2 = _T("monitor halt\n") +
                                _T("monitor flash erase_address 0x0 0x10000\n") +
                                _T("load bin/Release/\n") + projectName + _T(".elf\n") +
                                _T("file bin/Release/") + projectName + _T(".elf\n") +
                                _T("monitor halt\n");

                   project.AddToExtensions(_T("debugger/scriptadd/remote_debugging/options:additional_cmds=") + additional_commands2);

Expected Outcome:

<remote_debugging target="Debug">
               <options conn_type="0" serial_baud="115200" additional_cmds="monitor halt;monitor flash erase_address 0x0 0x10000;load bin/Debug/rth.elf;file bin/Debug/rth.elf;monitor halt; />
</remote_debugging>
<remote_debugging target="Release">
               <options conn_type="0" serial_baud="115200" additional_cmds="monitor halt;monitor flash erase_address 0x0 0x10000;load bin/Release/rth.elf;file bin/Release/rth.elf;monitor halt; />
</remote_debugging>

Actual Outcome:

<remote_debugging target="Release">
               <options conn_type="0" serial_baud="115200" additional_cmds="monitor halt;monitor flash erase_address 0x0 0x10000;load bin/Release/rth.elf;file bin/Release/rth.elf;monitor halt; />
            </remote_debugging>

Sorry for posting unclear query earlier. I hope this will be concise and clear 

It seems that we can add only 1 Extension line to cbp file corresponding to each parameter. Incase, I try to write multiple extension lines, only the information corresponding to last "project.AddtoExtension" gets reflected.

[BlueHazzard]

i tried your code and it does not work for me...
can you post more code?

[BlueHazzard]

i looked into the code of

Code

void cbProject::AddToExtensions(const wxString& stringDesc)

and i have to tell you with this code it will not work... The problem is that the code does not look for attributes of the xml nodes. For the current code

Code

<remote_debugging target="Debug">
</remote_debugging>

is the same as

Code

<remote_debugging target="Release">
</remote_debugging>

so if the code comes to the first remote_debugging target node it will use it. The code needs modifications... Can you open a ticket on sourceforge? Probably i find time today to fix this and post a patch, but you have to find a dev who applies it

[anandamu16]

It will not work today, I applied a hack in debuggergdb.cpp file to make it work.
Kindly refer the reply of tomjnx in this same thread, he introduced a patch, I applied it and it worked.

I have added my modified debuggergdb.cpp file for reference. Kindly search for 'scriptadd' in this file.
Also I modified the code, I posted in last comment by adding /scriptadd/ in path.
If you will make the changes as stated in debuggergdb.cpp and use the above code in wizard.script, you can actualkly see the output

Hi oBFusCATed

I am not giving any patch here. I find this solution by someone here on this thread only.

If you want to provide a patch please follow this procedure described here: http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/Creating_a_patch_to_submit_(Patch_Tracker)

Anyway, I tried to follow the link, its an empty page

My query is there any way in current codeblocks to get this (in cbp file)

<remote_debugging target="Debug">
               <options conn_type="0" serial_baud="115200" additional_cmds="monitor halt;monitor flash erase_address 0x0 0x10000;load bin/Debug/rth.elf;file bin/Debug/rth.elf;monitor halt; />
</remote_debugging>

               <options conn_type="0" serial_baud="115200" additional_cmds="monitor halt;monitor flash erase_address 0x0 0x10000;load bin/Release/rth.elf;file bin/Release/rth.elf;monitor halt; />
</remote_debugging>

I want this to be automatic part of new project created by wizard, for this, I am writing the wizard.script file but don't know how to achieve this. Any help will be of great value?

The link in my post works fine at least in Firefox on linux. To fix it just add a closing bracket at the end.

The automatic link-recognition of the forum software does not recognize the closing parenthesis as part of the link and omits it therefore.

You can create a stub project with all settings you need and save it as user template: "File -> Save project as template ..".

[anandamu16]

You can create a stub project with all settings you need and save it as user template: "File -> Save project as template ..".

In my project some setiings required the name of project like
In Remote debugging:          load bin/Debug/ptojectName.elf

For these kind of settings, I wish to set all these settings through wizard script file. Setting a template will not be of help

Pls clear my doubt: In today's scenario, Can we add multiple remote debugging commands through wizard script like this:??

<remote_debugging target="Debug">
               <options conn_type="0" serial_baud="115200" additional_cmds="monitor halt;monitor flash erase_address 0x0 0x10000;load bin/Debug/rth.elf;file bin/Debug/rth.elf;monitor halt; />
</remote_debugging>
<remote_debugging target="Release">
               <options conn_type="0" serial_baud="115200" additional_cmds="monitor halt;monitor flash erase_address 0x0 0x10000;load bin/Release/rth.elf;file bin/Release/rth.elf;monitor halt; />
</remote_debugging>

[BlueHazzard]

Ok, i have created a patch with this codeblocks would be able to do what you want.
https://sourceforge.net/p/codeblocks/tickets/513/

there is a other problem with codeblocks. The debugger deletes all configuration done outside from the plugin. I would like to know form a dev why this was done... The configuration should only be overwritten when you change the options... But if you use this api provided by my patch only from the scripted wizard this should be ok..

[anandamu16]

Hi BlueHazzard,

Your code looks good, but alas nothing gets displayed/reflected in cbp file of the project..?
As per your patch, I modified cbproject.h and cbproject.cpp. I keep all other files such as debuggergdb.cpp same as available in nighty build. But still I am not able to see debugger options in cbp file.
I checked my cbp file, and it has no information about debugger.

In wizard.script file, I used this command -
project.AddToExtensions(_T("debugger/remote_debugging/options:conn_type=0/sub_conn:baudrate=32000"));
project.AddToExtensions(_T("debugger/remote_debugging/options:conn_type=0/sub_conn:+interface=COM1"));

Any comments? Am I missing anything?

Even I tried disabling the debugger plugin, before creating the project, even that didn't work. Also please clear, whether disabling a plugin is mandatorystep or not required?
