Debugging on Vagrant

Like so many other posts, I run PyCharm on Windows 7 with a vagrant managing a virtualbox server running Ubuntu.  The project is located on my Windows R: drive and shared with Ubuntu via virtualbox's shared folders feature.

The issue I'm having is with debugging.  I have the remote debugger configured properly to run and debug an instance via manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000.

Pycharm's remote debugger connects correctly but as it traces files, it does not show the files in my project directory (either locally or remotely). Instead is shows a copy of the file it copied from remote to a python_stubs directory.  Normally this would be fine except that these are the files I'm editing so as soon as I edit a file, the line numbers get off.  Pycharm is pointing to the correct line of an old version of the file so I have to keep switching back to the new file to see where it really is.

It's very annoying.  I don't remember Pycharm 2.5 acting like this.

Thanks for any help out there.

Hi Timothy! Could you please provide a structure of your project. Do you use remote debugging run configuration or debugging with remote interpreter? PyCharm shows a file from the python_stubs directory when stops at a breakpoint?

P.S. As a quick-fix I can suggest removing your project files from python_stubs directory.

I use debugging with a remote interpreter.

The project is setup in a virtualenv environment on a remote server (in my case emulated on my developer machine).  I am editing files on my local drive (which the remote machine has mapped to the virtualenv instance).  Pycharm knows about this as a Remote interpreter.

Yes, the file from python_stubs shows when I hit a breakpoint.  Occasionally when I rebuild my server instance I will get a message that says that it couldn't find the file requested and it suggests that I "Auto-detect", "Edit" my settings or "Download" the file.  I'm forced to use "Download" because neither of the other two options seem to change the situation.

Thanks.

Timothy, I think you should set path mapping in your run configuration /local/path/to/project => /vagrant/path/to/project

Yes, it is already set properly.  Could it be getting confused because my local path is Windows (and therefore uses backslashes) while the remote path is Linux?

Whenever I get the options to auto-detect (as mentioned above), it auto-detects the settings correctly, but even selecting the correctly linked file will not show it.  Instead it just re-prompts to "Auto-detect", "Edit" my settings or "Download".

Here's some images of my current settings.  Hopefully this will clear things up a bit.

It should work on Windows.

As a note, I noticed 2.6.3 came out.  I've tried it and still see the same issue with it as well.

Correction, it is working better but I still get instances where it pulls up bad code.  I'll see if I can give you more details.
