why is the debugger not more working?

Classic Servoy

Hi,

if I set breakpoints in a method I would like to trigger in the smart client, the debugger will not run anymore. The method is running to the end without breaking and displaying the debugger window.

What is wrong and how can I fix this?

Servoy 6.0.1
Mac OSX 10.6.8
java.version=1.6.0_26

Regards

Hi, Thomas.

This happens to us quite often. What we do is restart developer, and the breakpoints start working again. I don’t know that there is anything you can do to fix the problem.

I hope this helps!

Hmmm…,

I have started the developer many times, but the debugger is still not working. A couple of days ago the debugger was running on my Mac as expected and I wonder why currently not? No settings/preferences where changed or anything else.

Thomas

Sorry, Thomas. I did not see in your original post that you are using the Mac OS. We develop on computers running MS Windows. Perhaps, other Mac users could comment on your problem?

Hi Thomas,

Is this code running in a modal dialog ? If so then yes, your code will not stop at your breakpoint.
Due to an issue in SWT (I believe) on the Mac Servoy will skip those breakpoints.

Hi Robert,

you are right! I tried debugging my code in a modal dialog form.
If I open the form as main form in the debug client, the code is stopping at the breakpoints as expected.
