How do I debug a plugin in PyCharm (or RubyMine, WebStorm, etc)? Follow

" My plugin doesn't work in PyCharm" = ??

Right, I don't know why my Plugin doesn't work in PyCharm, I'm trying to figure out why. The plugin is complicated and basic features do not work. There are no exceptions. I am not asking about why my plugin doesn't work. I am asking how I can debug my plugin using PyCharm. My plugin works fine in IntelliJ and RubyMine and WebStorm.

Did you follow rules from here http://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/IDEADEV/Plugin+Compatibility+with+IntelliJ+Platform+Products

Yes, I absolutely followed the rules there. The plugin compiles when following these instructions:

In order to do that, you can create an IntelliJ IDEA SDK pointing to an installation of RubyMine or PyCharm, compile your plugin against that SDK and verify that everything compiles.

Thanks again for your help.

Here is my source code:  https://github.com/btipling/DiskRead

Here is how I've setup my SDK:

These are the exceptions I've seen:

Please remove anything from PyCharm.app/plugins/*

Thanks for your help again. I removed all PyCharm class paths referencing "plugin" and ran into some more bad dependencies at runtime. I will just have to go through the jars and remove them one at a time to see which ones contain things I don't need and remove them.

Thanks again.
