Hi Chris, The post is actual for 1.x series, but in master is 2.0 already. If you want to follow the post guidelines you should run git clone https://github.com/apache/couchdb.git -b 1.x.x and follow the instructions.
As for master branch, technically, there would be enough to run just "rebar shell", but it doesn't works for now. This will be fixed soon. -- ,,,^..^,,, On Sun, Oct 26, 2014 at 2:15 PM, chris snow <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Forum, > > I would like to run couchdb and set breakpoints with the erlang > debugger and watch some queries, etc., to help with my understanding > of the code base. > > I have seen a post [1] that describes how to use the erlang debugger > with couchdb, but it seems to be quite old and no longer works on > master. > > The instructions provided are: > > ---- > git clone https://github.com/apache/couchdb.git > ERLC_FLAGS=+debug_info ./configure > make dev > ./utils/run -i > debugger:start(). > ---- > > Would someone be able to help by providing some debugging instructions > that will work on the current master? > > Many thanks, > > Chris > > [1] http://adamlofts.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/couchdb-development-debugging.html
