Debug by long name

[snakeduse]

Hello,

How can I connect to a node by its long name, for example "-name [email protected]"?

I specify such parameters, but it doesn't work:

{
    "name": "rebar shell",
    "type": "erlang",
    "request": "launch",
    "runinterminal": [
      "rebar3",
      "shell",
      "--name",
      "[email protected]",
      "--setcookie",
      "COOKIE"
    ],
    "projectnode": "[email protected]",
    "cookie": "COOKIE",
    "timeout": 300,
    "cwd": "${workspaceRoot}"
  }

But, if instead of the IP specify the name of the machine, then everything works. Configuration example:

{
      "name": "rebar shell",
      "type": "erlang",
      "request": "launch",
      "runinterminal": [
        "rebar3",
        "shell",
        "--name",
        "my_node@localhost",
        "--setcookie",
        "COOKIE"
      ],
      "projectnode": "my_node@localhost",
      "cookie": "COOKIE",
      "timeout": 300,
      "cwd": "${workspaceRoot}"
}

Hi @snakeduse I wonder if this is due to your network configuration. What happens if, from a terminal, you run:

erl -name [email protected]

vs

erl -name [email protected]

?
