## Debugging with XCode
|
||||
|
||||
### Generate xcode project for debugging sources (cannot build code from xcode)
|
||||
|
||||
Run `gn gen` with the --ide=xcode argument.
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
$ gn gen out/Testing --ide=xcode
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will generate the electron.ninja.xcworkspace. You will have to open this workspace
|
||||
to set breakpoints and inspect.
|
||||
|
||||
See `gn help gen` for more information on generating IDE projects with GN.
|
||||
|
||||
### Debugging and breakpoints
|
||||
|
||||
Launch Electron app after build.
|
||||
You can now open the xcode workspace created above and attach to the Electron process
|
||||
through the Debug > Attach To Process > Electron debug menu. [Note: If you want to debug
|
||||
the renderer process, you need to attach to the Electron Helper as well.]
|
||||
|
||||
You can now set breakpoints in any of the indexed files. However, you will not be able
|
||||
to set breakpoints directly in the Chromium source.
|
||||
To set break points in the Chromium source, you can choose Debug > Breakpoints > Create
|
||||
Symbolic Breakpoint and set any function name as the symbol. This will set the breakpoint
|
||||
for all functions with that name, from all the classes if there are more than one.
|
||||
You can also do this step of setting break points prior to attaching the debugger,
|
||||
however, actual breakpoints for symbolic breakpoint functions may not show up until the
|
||||
debugger is attached to the app.
