go-pry - an interactive REPL for Go that allows you to drop into your code at any point.

Example

go-pry Animated Example go-pry Example

Usage

Install go-pry

go get github.com/d4l3k/go-pry
go install -i github.com/d4l3k/go-pry

Add the pry statement to the code

package main

import "github.com/d4l3k/go-pry/pry"

func main() {
  a := 1
  pry.Pry()
}

Run the code as you would normally with the go command. go-pry is just a wrapper.

# Run
go-pry run readme.go

If you want completions to work properly, also install gocode if it is not installed in your system

go get -u github.com/nsf/gocode

How does it work?

go-pry is built using a combination of meta programming as well as a massive amount of reflection. When you invoke the go-pry command it looks at the Go files in the mentioned directories (or the current in cases such as go-pry build) and processes them. Since Go is a compiled language there's no way to dynamically get in scope variables, and even if there was, unused imports would be automatically removed for optimization purposes. Thus, go-pry has to find every instance of pry.Pry() and inject a large blob of code that contains references to all in scope variables and functions as well as those of the imported packages. When doing this it makes a copy of your file to . .gopry and modifies the .go then passes the command arguments to the standard go command. Once the command exits, it restores the files.

If the program unexpectedly fails there is a custom command go-pry restore [files] that will move the files back. An alternative is to just remove the pry.Apply(...) line.

Inspiration

go-pry is greatly inspired by Pry REPL for Ruby.

  • Is go-pry supposed to run standalone

    Is go-pry supposed to run standalone

    Apologies if this is already explained elsewhere, but it's not clear from the examples in the readme if it's possible to run go-pry as a standalone REPL.

    When I try I get this error, but I'm not sure if it's the normal behaviour or a problem with my setup.

    Packages in vendor/ are not found

    Hey, I tried to use go-pry in a project where external packages are below vendor/. Go pry keeps saying packages not found:

    panic: cannot find package "github.com/google/go-github/github" in any of:
    	/usr/local/go/src/github.com/google/go-github/github (from $GOROOT)

    it's actually in /src//vendor/github.com/google/go-github/github

    Could you give me some pointers how to fix this pls?

  • Question/Discussion: REPL history + copy-paste

    Question/Discussion: REPL history + copy-paste

    First: thanks for doing this, this it the most functional go repl out there!

    While not a big issue, but it would be nice to be able to copy-paste larger code blocks into the repl directly. History + tab completion would be the cherry on top of it.

    Here is a project that used the go impl. of readline with great success, maybe this could be something useful here?

    Refactor: implement History as an interface

    Hey @d4l3k

    In my spare time, I checked out your project. Really thanks for doing it! Here is a bit of my refactoring. The motivation was to make the code a bit structured and I picked a history functionality due to the simplicity of it. Hope you would find it useful.

    NOTE: i did not rename io_default.go, io_js.go to keep the diff understable and clear.

  • Working with Echo

    Working with Echo

    How about adding debug commands such likes continue or run?

    Sorry for not providing details. Here are what I mentioned. Wish to add some debug related commands for us to debug as python(ipdb) or ruby(pry)

         6: )
         7:

         9:   a := 1
     => 10:   pry.Pry()
        11:   fmt.Println("A", a)
        12: }
        13:
    
    [31] go-pry> a = 2
    => 2
    [32] go-pry>
    

    I modify the var a value to 2, and willing to execute next or continue commands to continue the program.

    Is there any methods to add those to go-pry? I have noticed what you have mentioned below it just has wrap go commands. So i thought it is impossible to add those commands.

  • Access to unexported

    Access to unexported

    reflect panic when trying to access an unexported field in a struct. For example :

    type A struct {
      unexp string
      Exp    string
    }
    a := &A{/*.....*/}
    

    Access to a.unexp will panic. Problem is here..

    https://github.com/d4l3k/go-pry/blob/f6e6fbd4789735a7b691b4d699db59695994d3dd/pry/interpreter.go#L226

    I believe there should be a check on field.isValid() AND sel.isExported() or not. If exported then field.Interface(), otherwise need to do something like this.

        // ......
        if field.IsValid() && sel.IsExported() {
          return field.Interface(), nil
        } else if field.IsValid() && !sel.IsExported() {
          k := rVal.FieldByName(sel.Name)
          if k.CanAddr() { // can address
            k = reflect.NewAt(k.Type(), unsafe.Pointer(k.UnsafeAddr())).Elem()
          } else { // can't address
            switch k.Kind() {
            case reflect.String:
              return k.String(), nil
