Doesn't work with a Phoenix Playground app

[bcardarella]

I've got a Phoenix Playground app and despite both the LiveDugger and LiveDebugger.Endpoint processes starting, I can confirm they are running in iex the web application isn't reachable.

@bcardarella after our slack conversation - what's the status here? Can I close the issue?

[bcardarella]

I tried the latest release as of that day and the same issues existed. In that the server in the endpoint is false and required a way to override so LiveDebugger can be started within an Application. I'm not seeing live updates and require manual refresh.

According to the server option set to false - we cannot change it since it'll cause LiveDebugger to be started when running mix tasks. Changing this option seem to be the only solution for now

About not seeing live updates - you mentioned that you are running playground app as a child process in a larger supervisor. In such complex setup there is a chance that tracing service starts too early. We don't have a proper solution for it at this moment, but you can try adding a delay to its setup, like this:

config :live_debugger, tracing_setup_delay: 500 # ms

[bcardarella]

No I don't think server should be set to true, just allow for a way to configure it to be true to work in an Application.

I'll try the delay and report back.

@bcardarella we added config for server - if the delay doesn't work for you I'll reopen this issue
