A Debug Adapter for Debugging Python within Maya

This adapter serves as a "middleman" between the Sublime Debugger plugin and a DAP implementation for python (ptvsd) injected into Maya.

It intercepts a few DAP requests to establish a connection between the debugger and Maya, and otherwise forwards all communications between the debugger and ptvsd normally.

Installation

To install from repo,

• Open Sublime
• Install the "Debugger" plugin with Package Control if not done already
• In the "Preferences" menu, select "Browse Packages..."
• Clone this repository into the folder opened by Sublime

Use

• Open the project you want to debug
  • If the debugger isn't open, select "Open" in the "Debugger" menu option
  • If it still doesn't open, ensure your project settings (Project -> Edit Project) are not empty
• Under the "Debugger" menu, select "Add or Select Configuration"
• Select "Add Configuration" from the suggestions
• There should be a "Maya: Python Debugging" option, click on it
• You should have your project settings automatically opened, edited with the configuration
• Save your project settings
• Go back to Debugger -> Add or Select Configuration, and select Maya: Python Debugging

The Maya Adapter should now be functional just by pressing play. It will guide you with how to connect to Maya itself.
