Debugging Python (Jython) code in Anypoint Studio (formerly called Mule Studio)

Question

I'm using Anypoint Studio for developing Mule ESB applications. Debugging Java code linked with Mule Java component is working fine in Anypoint. But I can't figure out how to debug Python (Jython) code from a Mule Python component when debugging a Mule flow. Any ideas?

Answer 1

You can debug the Python/Jython code with the pdb module, just like normal.

import pdb

...

pdb.set_trace()

...

If you run your Mulesoft project in debug mode, you can step through the pdb debugger in your console window (h for help). However, note that you will not see any output from each line in your script like you would normally; just a line number tracing the execution. You can still call variables that have been set though. Good luck!
