Remote debugging in haskell

Question

Is it possible to debug haskell remotely? If the code is running on a server can I step through the code remotely using any tools?

I have started using leksah for haskell development, I'm quite new to it but finding it quite useful. However I would like to know if remote debugging is possible using leksah or any other tools, as I play with large datasets that usually becomes hard to import from testing environment to local setup. The ability to step through the code remotely would be greatly useful.

Many thanks.

I couldn't find any remote debugging tools via a google search.

The closest I found is a project called hat, which generates a trace file and allows you to debug that trace file offline.

http://projects.haskell.org/hat/

Good luck.

That's a shame. I didn't like the Debug/Trace approach, I don't think I would use it, I'd rather use a debugger locally - thanks though! – opensourcegeek Sep 18 '13 at 12:38

There is actually a variety of officially listed Haskell debugging options. There is a related SO post for debugging in leksah from a few years ago, and if you decide to use IntelliJ there is also a Remote Debugger plugin.
