Question
I would like to know how to debug an application on the emulator using the command line interface (CLI). I'm familiar with building packages, installing, and running applications via CLI, but I can't find information on how to start debugging without using Tizen Studio.
Answer
Problem Understanding
The user wants to debug Tizen applications directly from the command line without relying on Tizen Studio's GUI interface. While the CLI provides commands for building, installing, and running applications, debugging functionality is not well-documented.
Solution Methods
- Check CLI Documentation: Review the latest CLI documentation on Samsung Tizen OS website for any debugging-related commands.
- GDB Integration: Consider using GDB (GNU Debugger) with the Tizen CLI tools for debugging native applications.
- Remote Debugging: For web applications, you can use remote debugging tools like Chrome DevTools by enabling remote debugging on the Tizen emulator.
Additional Tips
- The official Tizen CLI documentation has moved to Samsung Tizen OS website. Always check the latest documentation there.
- If you're working with web applications, you can use
sdbcommands to forward ports for remote debugging. - For native applications, compiling with debug symbols and using GDB might be the most viable CLI debugging option.
