Ray Distributed Debugger
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
The Ray Distributed Debugger includes a debugger backend and a `VS Code extension <https://www.anyscale.com/blog/ray-distributed-debugger?utm_source=ray_docs&utm_medium=docs&utm_campaign=promotion#download-for-free>`_ frontend that streamline the debugging process with an interactive debugging experience. The Ray Debugger enables you to:
|
|
|
|
- **Break into remote tasks**: Set a breakpoint in any remote task. A breakpoint pauses execution and allows you to connect with VS Code for debugging.
|
|
- **Post-mortem debugging**: When Ray tasks fail with unhandled exceptions, Ray automatically freezes the failing task and waits for the Ray Debugger to attach, allowing you to inspect the state of the program at the time of the error.
|
|
|
|
Ray Distributed Debugger abstracts the complexities of debugging distributed systems for you to debug Ray applications more efficiently, saving time and effort in the development workflow.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
The Ray Distributed Debugger frontend is only available in VS Code and other VS Code-compatible IDEs like Cursor. If you need support for other IDEs, file a feature request on `GitHub <https://github.com/ray-project/ray/issues>`_.

Set up the environment
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Create a new virtual environment and install dependencies.
|
|
|
|
.. testcode::
|
|
:skipif: True
|
|
|
|
conda create -n myenv python=3.10
|
|
conda activate myenv
|
|
pip install "ray[default]" debugpy
|
|
|
|
|
|
Start a Ray cluster
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
.. tab-set::
|
|
|
|
.. tab-item:: Local
|
|
|
|
Run `ray start --head` to start a local Ray cluster.
|
|
|
|
.. tab-item:: KubeRay (SSH)
|
|
|
|
Follow the instructions in :doc:`the RayCluster quickstart <../cluster/kubernetes/getting-started/raycluster-quick-start>` to set up a cluster.
|
|
You need to connect VS Code to the cluster. For example, add the following to the `ray-head` container and make sure `sshd` is running in the `ray-head` container.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
ports:
|
|
- containerPort: 22
|
|
name: ssd
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
How to run `sshd` in the `ray-head` container depends on your setup. For example you can use `supervisord`.
|
|
A simple way to run `sshd` interactively for testing is by logging into the head node pod and running:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y openssh-server
|
|
sudo mkdir -p /run/sshd
|
|
sudo /usr/sbin/sshd -D
|
|
|
|
You can then connect to the cluster via SSH by running:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
kubectl port-forward service/raycluster-sample-head-svc 2222:22
|
|
|
|
After checking that `ssh -p 2222 ray@localhost` works, set up VS Code as described in the
|
|
`VS Code SSH documentation <https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/ssh>`_.
|
|
|
|
.. tab-item:: KubeRay (Code Server, Community Maintained)
|
|
|
|
Follow the instructions in :doc:`the RayCluster quickstart <../cluster/kubernetes/getting-started/raycluster-quick-start>` to set up a cluster.
|
|
|
|
A simpler approach is to run a browser-based VS Code (Code Server) as a sidecar container in the Ray head pod. This eliminates network connectivity issues by placing VS Code inside the Kubernetes cluster.
|
|
|
|
Add a sidecar container to the Ray head pod and configure a shared volume. Modify your Ray head pod template with the following additions:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
# In your RayCluster YAML, under spec.headGroupSpec.template.spec
|
|
containers:
|
|
- name: ray-head
|
|
# ... your existing ray-head configuration ...
|
|
# Add this volumeMount:
|
|
volumeMounts:
|
|
- mountPath: /tmp/ray
|
|
name: shared-ray-volume
|
|
# Add this sidecar container:
|
|
- name: vscode-debugger
|
|
image: docker.io/onesizefitsquorum/code-server-with-ray-distributed-debugger:4.101.2
|
|
ports:
|
|
- containerPort: 8443
|
|
volumeMounts:
|
|
- mountPath: /tmp/ray
|
|
name: shared-ray-volume
|
|
env:
|
|
# Specifies the default directory that opens when VSCode Web starts, pointing to the workspace containing the Ray runtime resources.
|
|
- name: DEFAULT_WORKSPACE
|
|
value: "/tmp/ray/session_latest/runtime_resources"
|
|
# Add this volume at the same level as `containers`:
|
|
volumes:
|
|
- name: shared-ray-volume
|
|
emptyDir: {}
|
|
|
|
After the Ray cluster is running, forward the Code Server port:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
kubectl port-forward pod/<ray-head-pod-name> 8443:8443
|
|
|
|
Access VS Code in your browser at http://127.0.0.1:8443 and use the Ray Distributed Debugger extension to connect to http://127.0.0.1:8265.
|
|
|
|
For more details, see the `Code Server with Ray Distributed Debugger <https://github.com/OneSizeFitsQuorum/Code-Server-With-Ray-Distributed-Debugger/blob/main/README.en.md>`_ project.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Register the cluster
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Find and click the Ray extension in the VS Code left side nav. Add the Ray cluster `IP:PORT` to the cluster list. The default `IP:PORT` is `127.0.0.1:8265`. You can change it when you start the cluster. Make sure your current machine can access the IP and port.

:align: center
|
|
|
|
|
|
Create a Ray task
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Create a file `job.py` with the following snippet. Add `breakpoint()` in the Ray task. If you want to use the post-mortem debugging below, also add the `RAY_DEBUG_POST_MORTEM=1` environment variable.
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: ./doc_code/ray-distributed-debugger.py
|
|
:language: python
|
|
|
|
Run your Ray app
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Start running your Ray app.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
python job.py
|
|
|
|
|
|
Attach to the paused task
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
When the debugger hits a breakpoint:
|
|
|
|
- The task enters a paused state.
|
|
- The terminal clearly indicates when the debugger pauses a task and waits for the debugger to attach.
|
|
- The paused task is listed in the Ray Debugger extension.
|
|
- Click the play icon next to the name of the paused task to attach the VS Code debugger.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: ./images/attach-paused-task.gif
|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
|
|
Start and stop debugging
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Debug your Ray app as you would when developing locally. After you're done debugging this particular
|
|
breakpoint, click the **Disconnect** button in the debugging toolbar so you can join another task
|
|
in the **Paused Tasks** list.
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: ./images/debugger-disconnect.gif
|
|
|
|
|
|
Post-mortem debugging
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
Use post-mortem debugging when Ray tasks encounter unhandled exceptions. In such cases, Ray automatically freezes the failing task, awaiting attachment by the Ray Debugger. This feature allows you to thoroughly investigate and inspect the program's state at the time of the error.
|
|
|
|
Run a Ray task raised exception
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Run the same `job.py` file with an additional argument to raise an exception.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
python job.py raise-exception
|
|
|
|
|
|
Attach to the paused task
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
When the app throws an exception:
|
|
|
|
- The debugger freezes the task.
|
|
- The terminal clearly indicates when the debugger pauses a task and waits for the debugger to attach.
|
|
- The paused task is listed in the Ray Debugger extension.
|
|
- Click the play icon next to the name of the paused task to attach the debugger and start debugging.
|
|
|
|

|

|
|
|
|
|
|
Start debugging
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Debug your Ray app as you would when developing locally.
