Debugging computer programming code in a cloud debugger environment
First Claim
1. A method for capturing breakpoint information from a debuggee software process, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a processing device, a breakpoint request from a user computing device in communication with the processing device;
generating, by the processing device, a new breakpoint condition based upon the breakpoint request received from the user computing device, the new breakpoint condition identifying a point in software code run by a debuggee service executing a collection of software processes on a distributed system;
transmitting the new breakpoint condition from the processing device to debuglets of the debuggee service, each debuglet associated with a respective one of the software processes and in communication with the processing device, the new breakpoint condition causing each debuglet to translate the new breakpoint condition to a physical breakpoint condition set to the respective software process;
when one of the software processes hits the physical breakpoint condition;
receiving, at the processing device, a request from the debuglet associated with the software process that hit the physical breakpoint condition to update active breakpoint information captured by the associated debuglet; and
transmitting a notification indicating the hit physical breakpoint condition to the user computing device and each debuglet of the debuggee service, the notification causing the debuglets to remove the previously set physical breakpoint condition from their respective software processes.

Abstract
A method for capturing breakpoint information from a debuggee software process includes generating a breakpoint condition based upon a breakpoint request received from a user computing device corresponding to a user and transmitting the generated breakpoint condition to debuglets, each corresponding to a software process executed by a debuggee service. The debuggee service executes on a distributed system, and each debuglet translates the generated breakpoint condition to a physical breakpoint condition set to the respective software process. The method also includes receiving a request from one of the debuglets to update active breakpoint information captured by the debuglet upon the physical breakpoint condition being hit by one of the software processes and transmitting a notification from the processing device indicating the physical breakpoint condition being hit to the user computing device.

10. A distributed system comprising:
-
one or more debugger service processing devices executing a debugger service, the debugger service generating a new breakpoint condition based upon a breakpoint request received from a user computing device in communication with the distributed system and corresponding to a user, the new breakpoint condition identifying a point in software code run by a debuggee service executing a collection of software processes; and one or more debuglet controller processing devices in communication with the one or more debugger service processing devices and executing a debuglet controller, the debuglet controller; transmitting the generated new breakpoint condition to debuglets of the debuggee service, each debuglet associated with a respective one of the software processes, the new breakpoint condition causing each debuglet to translate the new breakpoint condition to a physical breakpoint condition set to the respective software process; when one of the software processes hits the physical breakpoint condition; receiving a request from the debuglet associated with the software process that hit the physical breakpoint condition to update active breakpoint information captured by the associated debuglet; and transmitting a notification indicating the hit physical breakpoint condition to the user computing device and each debuglet of the debuggee service, the notification causing the debuglets to remove the previously set physical breakpoint condition from their respective software processes. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
