Hello,

It's possible to use the eclipse debugger view with ATL?

No matter where i put them, breakpoints are never triggered. I place them with the outline viewer, skip all breakpoints is disable, i launch my transformation with debug launcher. I don't know what i'm doing wrong.

I use eclipse 4.5.2 and ATL 3.6.

All that looks good. One more thing: you have to manually switch to the debugger perspective to see your debug session.

Cheers,
Dennis

Yes I'm in the debugger view when I launch my transformation, but it finish before any breakpoints trigger.

I suppose you have already read https://wiki.eclipse.org/ATL/User_Guide_-_The_ATL_Tools#ATL_Debug_perspective

Please verify that the Outline elements you select as breakpoint are in fact behavioural expressions, and not some structural element, such as an OutPattern. Only the Outline elements with behaviour will correspond to ATL bytecode, and will trigger a breakpoint. If in doubt, select the element that is nested deepest.

Cheers,
Dennis

Yes i already read that.

I tried on many elements: MatchedRule, RuleVariableDeclaration, VariableExpr, NavigationOrAttributeCallExpr.... and nothing.

Can you verify that your breakpoint code is actually executed by adding a call to "debug()"?

Yes, everything is executed and debug() prints correctly.

Ok, then I'm out of ideas... Can you export your Eclipse project as a zip file, and post it here? I can then hopefully reproduce your problem, and see what is going on.

Cheers,
Dennis

Ok, i don't know what's happened but it's look fine now...
Your last post gave me the idea to test with another transformation.
I tried on the example public2Private, saw it's worked, tried again on my transformation and now it's working.

Thanks for your help.
