154-154: Potential Impact of Commenting Out Process Factory ID SettingCommenting out the line that sets the
DebugPlugin.ATTR_PROCESS_FACTORY_IDcould significantly alter how processes are managed during debugging. This change is likely an attempt to troubleshoot the hanging issue, but it's crucial to verify that this does not introduce other issues in the debugging process.Please ensure to test this change across all supported platforms to confirm that it resolves the hanging issue without adverse effects. Consider re-enabling this line conditionally based on further findings or implementing a more targeted fix if this proves to be too broad.

28-66: The retry mechanism, logging, and exception handling are well-implemented.The retry mechanism is a good addition to handle transient issues that may cause temporary port unavailability. The maximum number of retries (3) and the delay between retries (200ms) seem reasonable. The method correctly returns
falseif the port is still not available after exhausting all retries.The logging statements provide useful information for debugging and monitoring purposes. The log messages are clear and informative.
The method handles
InterruptedExceptionduring the sleep period by restoring the interrupt status and logging an appropriate message. This ensures that the method behaves correctly when interrupted and doesn't silently swallow the exception.bundles/com.espressif.idf.debug.gdbjtag.openocd/src/com/espressif/idf/debug/gdbjtag/openocd/dsf/Launch.java (1)

1-265: Summary of review and areas for further attentionThe changes in this file address the port handling logic as mentioned in the PR objectives. However, there are a few areas that might need further attention:
The PR objectives mention debugging process hangs, but the changes in this file don't directly address this issue. Could you please clarify how these changes are expected to resolve the process hangs?
The PR comments indicate that a user (kolipakakondal) is still experiencing issues. It might be beneficial to review the attached log files ("stack.log" and "ide.log") to see if they provide any insights into persisting problems.
Consider adding more comprehensive error handling and logging around the port assignment process. This could help in diagnosing issues if they persist after these changes.
As the PR checklist indicates that verification across all platforms is pending, ensure that thorough testing is conducted on Windows, Linux, and macOS before merging these changes.
Given the complexity of the debugging process and the reported issues, it might be beneficial to implement more detailed logging throughout the launch process. This could help in identifying the exact point where hangs or other issues occur, especially when they're not easily reproducible across all environments.

Fix Logical Error in Port Availability Check
The isPortAvailable method currently has a logical error. It assumes that if it cannot establish a connection to the port after all retries, the port is unavailable. However, inability to connect to a port typically means the port is free and available for use. This method should return true when the port is available (i.e., no service is listening on it) and false when it's in use.
Apply this diff to correct the logic:
while (attempts <= retryCount)
{
try (Socket ignored = new Socket("localhost", port))
{
// If the socket opens, the port is in use
return false;
}
catch (IOException e)
{
// Port is available if we cannot connect
if (attempts == retryCount)
{
- // After exhausting all retries, return false
- Logger.log("Port " + port + " is not available after " + retryCount + " retries.");
- return false; // Failure, port is still not available
+ // After exhausting all retries, return true
+ Logger.log("Port " + port + " is available after " + retryCount + " retries.");
+ return true; // Success, port is available
}
attempts++;
// Log retry attempt
Logger.log("Attempt " + attempts + " failed, retrying in " + retryDelayMillis + " ms...");
try
{
Thread.sleep(retryDelayMillis);
}
catch (InterruptedException interruptedException)
{
Thread.currentThread().interrupt(); // Restore interrupt status

Hi @alirana01 , thanks for the PR. I verified the debugging with the ESP32-Wrover-Kit, and it seems to be working fine. I no longer see the issue I reported earlier. However, I previously tested with the ESP32-C6, but my cable is currently missing, so I cannot verify it at this moment wit the c6. |

150-153: Approve the condition, but suggest improvementsThe addition of the condition to set the port number when the GDB server is started is a good step towards addressing the port handling logic issues. However, there are a few points to consider:
The current implementation doesn't include a retry mechanism or port verification as mentioned in the PR summary. Consider implementing these to make the solution more robust.
This change doesn't address the concerns raised by AndriiFilippov about endless retries and not switching to available ports. Consider adding logic to handle occupied ports and switch to available ones.
It would be helpful to add a comment explaining the rationale behind this change, especially in relation to the issues it's meant to solve.
Consider expanding this implementation to include:
- A retry mechanism with a maximum number of attempts
- Port verification to ensure the chosen port is actually available
- Logic to switch to an available port if the default is occupied
Example:
if (Configuration.getDoStartGdbServer(config)) { int port = DefaultPreferences.GDB_SERVER_GDB_PORT_NUMBER_DEFAULT; int maxAttempts = 5; for (int attempt = 0; attempt < maxAttempts; attempt++) { if (PortChecker.isPortAvailable(port)) { config.setAttribute(IGDBJtagConstants.ATTR_PORT_NUMBER, port); break; } port++; // Try the next port } if (attempt == maxAttempts) { throw new CoreException(new Status(IStatus.ERROR, Activator.PLUGIN_ID, "Unable to find an available port after " + maxAttempts + " attempts")); } }Also, consider adding a comment explaining the purpose of this block:
// Set the GDB server port when starting the server from the IDE. // This ensures we use an available port and avoid conflicts.bundles/com.espressif.idf.debug.gdbjtag.openocd/src/com/espressif/idf/debug/gdbjtag/openocd/ui/TabDebugger.java (1)
577-583: LGTM: GDB client group initialization.The initialization and configuration of the
gdbClientGroupare implemented correctly. The use of localized strings for the group title is good for internationalization.For consistency with other parts of the code, consider extracting the string key to a constant:
- gdbClientGroup.setText(Messages.getString("DebuggerTab.gdbSetupGroup_Text")); //$NON-NLS-1$ + gdbClientGroup.setText(Messages.getString(Messages.DebuggerTab_gdbSetupGroup_Text));And define the constant in the
Messagesclass:public static final String DebuggerTab_gdbSetupGroup_Text = "DebuggerTab.gdbSetupGroup_Text";This approach would make it easier to manage and update string keys throughout the codebase.

31-31: Question the Necessity ofsetReuseAddress(true)Calling
serverSocket.setReuseAddress(true);after the socket has already been bound may not have any effect. Since the primary goal is to check if the port is available, and not to reuse the address, this line may be unnecessary. Removing it can simplify the code without impacting functionality.Apply this diff to remove the unnecessary line:
Line range hint
43-47: Improve Handling When No Available Port Is FoundWhen the maximum number of attempts is reached without finding an available port, the method currently returns the last checked port, which may still be unavailable. This could lead to downstream failures. Consider throwing an exception or returning a sentinel value (e.g.,
-1) to clearly indicate that no available port was found.Option 1: Throw an Exception
Modify the method to throw an
IOExceptionwhen no port is available:if (attemptsCount >= MAX_ATTEMPS) { Logger.log(Messages.PortChecker_AttemptLimitExceededMsg); - return port; + throw new IOException("No available ports found after " + MAX_ATTEMPS + " attempts."); }Option 2: Return a Sentinel Value
Return
-1to indicate failure:if (attemptsCount >= MAX_ATTEMPS) { Logger.log(Messages.PortChecker_AttemptLimitExceededMsg); - return port; + return -1; }Ensure that any calling methods handle this new behavior appropriately.
7-8: Remove Unused Importjava.io.IOExceptionThe import statement
import java.io.IOException;is added but not used in the code. Removing unused imports can improve code readability and reduce clutter.Apply this diff to remove the unused import:
29-32: Consider Binding to a Specific Local AddressIf the application runs on a machine with multiple network interfaces, you might want to specify the local address to bind the
ServerSocketto. This can prevent binding to unintended network interfaces.Modify the
ServerSocketinstantiation to specify the local address if necessary:try (ServerSocket serverSocket = new ServerSocket(port, backlog, InetAddress.getByName("localhost")))Replace
"localhost"with the appropriate local address if needed.

1-253: Summary and Next StepsThe changes made to the
Launch.javafile partially address the port handling issues mentioned in the PR objectives. However, to fully resolve the problems and address the concerns raised in the comments, consider the following next steps:
- Implement a more robust port selection mechanism with retries and verification.
- Address the concerns about endless retries and switching to available ports.
- Ensure the solution works across all platforms (Windows, Linux, macOS) as mentioned in the PR summary.
- Add comprehensive error handling and logging to aid in debugging.
- Update the PR description to accurately reflect the implemented changes and any remaining tasks.
To improve the overall architecture and maintainability of the debugging process:
- Consider extracting the port selection logic into a separate utility class. This would make it easier to test and reuse across different parts of the codebase.
- Implement a configuration option to allow users to specify a range of acceptable ports. This would provide more flexibility and potentially avoid conflicts with other applications.
- Add telemetry (if not already present) to track the frequency and nature of port-related issues. This data could inform future improvements to the debugging process.
To ensure the changes work as expected across different scenarios, consider adding the following verification steps:
These verification steps will help ensure that the changes are consistent with the rest of the codebase and that no conflicting implementations exist.

96-97:⚠️ Potential issueConsider maintaining consistency in port configuration retrieval
The change simplifies the GDB server port retrieval by using a default value directly. However, this approach differs from how other ports (Telnet and TCL) are handled in the same method, which still use configuration attributes.
Potential issues:
- Loss of flexibility: Users can no longer configure custom GDB server ports through launch configurations.
- Inconsistency: The GDB server port is handled differently from Telnet and TCL ports.
- Backward compatibility: Existing setups relying on custom GDB server port configurations may break.
Consider the following alternatives:
- Revert to using configuration attributes for consistency:
int port = PortChecker.getAvailablePort(configuration.getAttribute(ConfigurationAttributes.GDB_SERVER_GDB_PORT_NUMBER, DefaultPreferences.GDB_SERVER_GDB_PORT_NUMBER_DEFAULT));
- Apply the same simplification to Telnet and TCL ports for consistency.

29-37:⚠️ Potential issueHandle InterruptedException in Port Checking Loop
In the
getAvailablePortmethod, if anInterruptedExceptionoccurs duringThread.sleep(), the interrupt status is not restored or handled, which might lead to unexpected behavior. Ensure that the interrupt status is preserved or appropriately handled.If the sleep is interrupted, consider restoring the interrupt status:
// Example code if sleep is used within the loop try { Thread.sleep(retryDelayMillis); } catch (InterruptedException interruptedException) { Thread.currentThread().interrupt(); // Restore interrupt status Logger.log("Port checking was interrupted."); throw new IOException("Port checking was interrupted.", interruptedException); }Adjust the code according to your implementation needs.

Catch Specific Exceptions Instead of Generic Exception
Catching the generic Exception can mask other unintended exceptions and make debugging harder. It's better to catch the more specific IOException, which is the expected exception type for socket operations.
Apply this diff to catch IOException specifically:
-} catch (Exception e) {
+} catch (IOException e) {
Logger.log("Port: " + port + " is not available"); //$NON-NLS-1$ //$NON-NLS-2$
return false;

150-153: Approve with suggestion: Consider adding a fallback mechanism for occupied ports.The change simplifies port assignment and aligns with the PR objective of addressing process hang issues. However, to enhance robustness, consider implementing a fallback mechanism for scenarios where the default port is occupied.
Here's a suggested improvement:
if (Configuration.getDoStartGdbServer(config)) { - config.setAttribute(IGDBJtagConstants.ATTR_PORT_NUMBER, DefaultPreferences.GDB_SERVER_GDB_PORT_NUMBER_DEFAULT); + int port = DefaultPreferences.GDB_SERVER_GDB_PORT_NUMBER_DEFAULT; + while (!PortChecker.isPortAvailable(port) && port < DefaultPreferences.GDB_SERVER_GDB_PORT_NUMBER_DEFAULT + 10) { + port++; + } + if (PortChecker.isPortAvailable(port)) { + config.setAttribute(IGDBJtagConstants.ATTR_PORT_NUMBER, port); + } else { + throw new CoreException(new Status(IStatus.ERROR, Activator.PLUGIN_ID, "No available ports found for GDB server")); + } }This suggestion adds a retry mechanism to find an available port within a range, addressing the concern raised by user AndriiFilippov about endless retries without switching to an available port.

31-31: Redundant call tosetReuseAddress(true)Setting
setReuseAddress(true)after theServerSocketis bound may not have the intended effect, as the socket is already bound by that point. Since the socket is used only for a quick availability check and is immediately closed, this call might be unnecessary.Apply this diff to remove the redundant call:
try (ServerSocket serverSocket = new ServerSocket(port)) { - serverSocket.setReuseAddress(true); return true; }

43-59: Handle the case when no available port is found after maximum attemptsCurrently, if no available port is found after the maximum number of attempts,
getAvailablePortreturns the last attempted port number, which may not be available. This could lead to issues downstream when attempting to use an unavailable port. Consider throwing an exception to indicate that a free port was not found.Apply this diff to throw an exception when no port is available:
+public static int getAvailablePort(int port) throws IOException { int attemptsCount = 0; while (!isPortAvailable(port) && attemptsCount < MAX_ATTEMPS) { Logger.log(String.format(Messages.PortChecker_PortNotAvailable, port, port + 1)); port += 1; attemptsCount += 1; } if (attemptsCount >= MAX_ATTEMPS) { Logger.log(Messages.PortChecker_AttemptLimitExceededMsg); - return port; + throw new IOException("No available port found after " + MAX_ATTEMPS + " attempts."); } Logger.log(String.format(Messages.PortChecker_PortIsAvailable, port)); return port; }Ensure that any code calling this method handles the
IOExceptionappropriately.

💡 Codebase verification
Dynamic port selection improved, but Telnet port requires attention
The implementation of PortChecker.getAvailablePort with a retry limit enhances the robustness of dynamic port selection for the GDB and TCL ports, effectively addressing potential port conflicts and preventing endless retries.
However, the telnet_port still does not utilize PortChecker.getAvailablePort. To ensure consistency and prevent similar issues with the Telnet port, please apply the dynamic port selection logic with retry limits to the telnet_port as well.
- Apply
PortChecker.getAvailablePortwith retry limits to the Telnet port configuration.
🔗 Analysis chain
Approve the dynamic port selection, but suggest improvements
The introduction of PortChecker.getAvailablePort() for the GDB port is a good step towards resolving port conflicts and addressing the debugging process hangs. However, there are a few points to consider:
-
This change is only applied to the GDB port. For consistency and to fully address potential conflicts, consider applying the same logic to the Telnet and TCL ports as well.
-
To prevent the endless retry issue reported by AndriiFilippov, consider adding a retry limit or a timeout mechanism to the port selection process.
-
Verify if this change resolves the reported debugging hangs across different platforms (Windows, Linux, macOS) and with various ESP-IDF versions.
Here's a suggested implementation for applying the dynamic port selection to all ports:
private static int getAvailablePort(int defaultPort, int maxRetries) {
for (int i = 0; i < maxRetries; i++) {
int port = PortChecker.getAvailablePort(defaultPort);
if (port != defaultPort) {
return port;
}
}
throw new RuntimeException("Unable to find an available port after " + maxRetries + " attempts");
}
// In getGdbServerCommandLineArray method:
int gdbPort = getAvailablePort(DefaultPreferences.GDB_SERVER_GDB_PORT_NUMBER_DEFAULT, 10);
lst.add("-c");
lst.add("gdb_port " + gdbPort);
int telnetPort = getAvailablePort(DefaultPreferences.GDB_SERVER_TELNET_PORT_NUMBER_DEFAULT, 10);
lst.add("-c");
lst.add("telnet_port " + telnetPort);
int tclPort = getAvailablePort(DefaultPreferences.GDB_SERVER_TCL_PORT_NUMBER_DEFAULT, 10);
lst.add("-c");
lst.add("tcl_port " + tclPort);This implementation applies the dynamic port selection to all ports and includes a retry limit to prevent endless loops.

@AndriiFilippov please use these guidelines there must be another way to occupy the ports to verify this anyway at times the serial id for the connected boards is similar we need to specify it different for each board I have attached a conversation on the original jira ticket for you to track and verify. |

@alirana01 hi! Tested, but it seems the issue is still persist. Reproduce:
|
Description
The port handling logic was flawed added proper code to verify and assign ports with a logic for retries as well.
Also changed the debugger tab so that the gdb client controls are only enabled when the openOCD server is not started from the IDE.
Fixes # (IEP-1265)
Type of change
Please delete options that are not relevant.
How has this been tested?
Try debugging on mac os and verify that openocd is able to connect. Also start openocd only from cli and try to connect debugger
