B4J Question RDP and B4J in Debug mode

[yo3ggx]

Hi,

I'm using RDP to connect to the computer where B4J is running, as I need access to some local USB devices. Everything is working perfect in Release mode, but in Debug mode the application GUI is not started, without any error. Is this a normal behavior?

Thank you.

It works fine here. Probably related to the network configuration.

Thank you for the hint. I've disabled Windows Firewall and now it works. Do you know what ports to open in order to work in debug mode?

 

[Erel]

Assuming that you are not using B4J-Bridge then you aren't expected to open any port. It is just a local connection.

Are you using B4J-Bridge?

 

[yo3ggx]

Local, no bridge, but currently works only with the firewall off, so debug mode needs something usually blocked by the firewall.

in the RDP platform you have installed B4J? and you are running your app in debug mode there... am i wrong?

if yes, indeed you have to open ports.

i do not remember what port it is but the IDE tells you when you try to compile 2 b4j apps in debug mode at the same time.

Port UDP 58912 is used for auto discovery of B4A-Bridge clients, the B4A-Bridge on the device listens on port 6789, and the Debugger alternate ports are 9054 and 9055.

Yes, I'm working remotely (through RDP) on my main PC with B4J installed, in debug mode (running the code on remote computer). If firewall not disabled, the app can be run only in Release mode, otherwise the app is compiled, but waiting for debugger to connect. Excelent hint!

Waiting for debugger to connect...
shell switching to alternate port: 9054
shell switching to alternate port: 9055

Opening the TCP ports 9050-9060 for inbound connection solved my issue.

Thank you.

I'm not using the bridge, I'm running B4J in debug mode locally on the remote computer.
