VS20.0.1.3 64bit with Perl debugging on Fedora 23 hangs

[dakdikmen]

Hi,

Having troubles with the latest SlickEdit on Linux box.  I can't seem to run/debug or configure Perl projects.

The whole SlickEdit application hangs whenever I try either running, debugging or opening the Build/Perl Options dialog.
Also could not create an non-empty perl project. Empty as in no perl source files was created fine.

I'm just using the default perl (v5.22.1) on fedora (v23), I'll try perlbrew later with an older Perl.
I tired remote debugging with setting up a perl5db listener and remote perl script.

I got windows box with the same version of SlickEdit (20.0.1.3 win64) and the perl (strawberry 5.20.1) debugging is working fine (local and remote).

-Thanks,
David

It works on my newly minted F23 box, so I don't think it's specific to that version. 

The one thing that changed in v20.0.1 that might effect remote debugging was a move from perldb 0.30 to 0.40. What are the commands you used to set up the remote debugging on your perl script? 

It might also help to see the debugger logging as well.  Setup up remote debugging, and before you connect SlickEdit to the remote session, go to the SlickEdit command prompt and type in: set-var def_debug_logging 1

Let it hang for a little bit, and then close down SlickEdit.  The log will be in your config directory (probably /home/.slickedit/20.0.1/logs/debug.log, collect that and attach it to a reply.

Hi,

I delete my whole ~/.slickedit/... tree and now I can create new perl projects.  I still can not run/debug or open up the Build/Perl Options dialog.

I set the " set-var def_debug_logging 1" and ran it again, no debug.log file.   But I got an pip.log file there:
[dakdikmen@davida-linux2 ~]$ cat ~/.slickedit/20.0.1/logs/pip.log
pip[2016-01-22T11:10:45Z](1/22/2016 at 11:10:45, 141 ms): dbcreate status = 0

I did notice also that I can not debug Java application either, or open up the build/Java Options dialog either.

Any Ideas?
thanks.

Upgraded to Fedora 24 and not a big fan of the Eclipse Neon, so tried SlickEdit again.  Perl Debugging was back! The problem went away.

Upgrading F23->F24 caused over 4000 packages to update, so who knows what was causing the debugger to hang..
