Re: [dev] How can I setup a dev environment for OTRS?

Thanks, I'll look into it. Apache vs private HTTP/CGI server is the difference I was curious about but I hope will manage to clarify it from the guide as it was also recommended from another direction. On Tue, Sep 11, 2012 at 10:50 AM, Martin Gruner wrote:

Hi Bogdan,

it's been a while :-/. AFAIR (http://www.epic-ide.org/guide/ch06.php), it may not even run inside apache but spawn a local HTTP/CGI server that you can use to run OTRS inside. Just try it.

Hi,

10x. When you tried this, did you have the debugger connect to Apache HTTPD or were you able to somehow execute OTRS's scripts in a more direct way? As far as I understood, the Perl interpreter runs in HTTPD's process, via mod_perl, so a debugger would need to attach to HTTPD in order to work.

I understand your point about not practically needing the above, but it would give me a warm fuzzy feeling to see it working and know I can do that for the worst case scenario.

Hi Bogdan,

AFAICT you can use Eclipse with the EPIC perl editor that also includes a graphical interface to the Perl debugger, giving you full execution control. I tried that once, but as Mike said it is not really needed in everyday work.

Best regards, mg

Thanks for the input.

I was "afraid" of that. I'm familiar with this type of debugging from writing shell scripts running under Jenkins but I've never done debugging like that for a code base as large as OTRS seems to be.

With shell scripts it was, kind of, simple to assess if the code is valid because I knew exactly where the script will be invoked from and my only concern was to explore the context of the call (mainly env vars). With these Perl scrips, without an IDE that halts execution on a breakpoint or a possibility to statically explore all callers on an object's method, I find it hard to imagine how I can ensure a change I make on some of the code OTRS ships with will not break some code paths or, worse, produce undesirable side effects.

I assume you mean Apache HTTPD's STDERR. I'll try to setup Fred. I hope this info is still valid ( http://lists.otrs.org/pipermail/dev/2007-October/001728.html) because I haven't found much else in the form of a guide on how to use / install it=
