Problem developing on a remote PC

[qzic]

I'm trying to run the pi4j archetype on a raspberry 5.0 from Windows 10 with Netbeans 24. I have set up the raspberry.properties and can run/debug it.

The problem is it runs on my local machine not on the raspberry.
I changed the first statement in main to
console.box("Hello Rasbian world ! OS = " + System.getProperty("os.name")); I also commented out the code following this statement because it just caused a crash (because its running on the wrong platform).
`
to figure out what was going on.

running with maven -X this is the final part of the output

Sorry for the noise. I solved it. It was my misunderstanding of how to run a custom goal in Netbeans.

[FDelporte]

@qzic thanks for solving and closing :-)
Is there something you learned from this that we should add to pi4j.com as documentation to help others using Netbeans?

[qzic]

Well I'm quite new to maven, have been using ant in netbeans for years. After setting up the two custom actions. I could find the Custom entry in the Project rt-click menu. Then I found Run Maven and it had the two custom entries remote run and remote debug.

I have reopened the issue because although remote run works, remote debug does not.
Here is the final error output after running remote debug

--- antrun:3.0.0:run (debug) @ mavenproject1 ---

It seems remote.platform.port has not been defined for/in the build.xml

[qzic]

I made a little progress (might be the wrong path??)
Added the following lines to build.xml since it appears it was not able to resolve these properties

        <property name="remote.platform.host" value="192.168.1.168"/>
        <property name="remote.platform.port" value="22"/>
        <property name="remote.platform.username" value="pi"/>
        <property name="remote.platform.keyfile" value="C:/Users/Quentin/.ssh/id_ecdsa"/>
        <property name="remote.platform.passphrase" value=""/>

I hadn't noticed this line so I updated it with my Netbeans defined remote platform

    '<fail unless="target.platform.name">RPi-5-1</fail>'

Now there are no errors but with a breakpoint set on the "Hello Rasbian" statement in Main.java this is the output

So it seems to be running but not hitting the break point. Is "Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 1955
" coming from the jvm or netbeans. I suspect JVM and Netbeans debugging has not been started

When I try the Netbeans Debug button with this this project set as main project, here is what I see:

Also the debug toolbar shows up with the red debug stop button etc.
I think the problem is that running the custom remote debug from the Project context menu isn't starting Netbeans debug mode because I don't see the debug toolbar unless I click the debug button.

[qzic]

I noticed that Remote Run and Remote Debug show up in the Netbeans action list for the project. So I copied the execute goals to Run and Debug which are activated from the main Run Debug buttons. I removed everything in the properties for Run and Debug except jpda.listen=true for Debug. Both buttons work and after clicking Debug, the Debug toolbar appears.
In raspberry.properties I set target.debug.port=${jpda.address} since the port is randomly chosen by netbeans when running in debug.
After clicking Debug I see JPDA starting in the output but the result is the same as previously. Seems to hang waiting for the debugger to attach. See below

Note that the 1st chunk of output "cd ..." references the jvm on my local windows??? Later we see it downloaded and running on the raspberry.

Duh! So I see that platform line in build.xml should be raspberry
and then I don't need to define all those properties for remote run. BUT, I still need them for remote debug ??

[qzic]

I have messed around with build.xml and I found I had to correct the <target name="-debug-remote-key" .... section because it was not using the some variables defined in raspberry.properties. Despite this I have the same result with it hanging

Final output on remote debug (remote run is fine)

Hi qzic,
here you can can find a complete setup for a Raspi project (including debugging):

https://gitlab.fhnw.ch/ip_12_preparation/hellopi5.git

It is used at our university. The README is in German. But with Google Translate you should be able to set up your laptop and the Raspberry Pi (a setup script for the RaspPi is also included).

Essentially it's a Maven project. The whole setup is in the pom.xml .

Even if IntelliJ IDEA is referenced, you don't need to use it. It should work fine with NetBeans as well.

Greetings from Switzerland
Dieter

I think the pi4j-maven-archetype needs to be updated with the previous build.xml file (which works as it should) plus a fix for debug.
I've never pulled a repo , done a fix etc. so I hope someone knowledgeable can do this.
