Any debugging resources besides SciTE?

[meatsack]

Are there any debugging resources besides SciTE? I just can't figure out how to debug step by step like you can in VB using SciTE. I have read through the tutorials FAQ's, Tutorials, wiki and all the linked resources cited from autoitscript.com What I am trying to do is run my script line 1, then line 2, etc to see where it hangs or seems to have a problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Here is the code I am looking at. The following script hangs and the last step it executes seems to be sending the "windows" or (start button) key as it brings up the start selection, however I am generating several other prototype scripts that seem to hang when I try similar functions:

Opt("WinWaitDelay",100)

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",4)

Opt("WinDetectHiddenText",1)

Opt("MouseCoordMode",0)

WinWait("Fujitsu Menu","Fujitsu Tablet Contr")

If Not WinActive("Fujitsu Menu","Fujitsu Tablet Contr") Then WinActivate("Fujitsu Menu","Fujitsu Tablet Contr")

WinWaitActive("Fujitsu Menu","Fujitsu Tablet Contr")

Send("{ESC}{LWINDOWN}{LWINUP}")

WinWait("classname=Shell_TrayWnd","Running Applications")

If Not WinActive("classname=Shell_TrayWnd","Running Applications") Then WinActivate("classname=Shell_TrayWnd","Running Applications")

WinWaitActive("classname=Shell_TrayWnd","Running Applications")

Send("{ESC}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}")

WinWait("Program Manager","FolderView")

If Not WinActive("Program Manager","FolderView") Then WinActivate("Program Manager","FolderView")

WinWaitActive("Program Manager","FolderView")

Send("2{ENTER}")

WinWait("Todo Main - Microsoft Office OneNote","Writing Tools")

If Not WinActive("Todo Main - Microsoft Office OneNote","Writing Tools") Then WinActivate("Todo Main - Microsoft Office OneNote","Writing Tools")

WinWaitActive("Todo Main - Microsoft Office OneNote","Writing Tools")

Send("{CTRLDOWN}d{CTRLUP}d{LWINDOWN}{LWINUP}")

WinWait("classname=WorkerW","FolderView")

If Not WinActive("classname=WorkerW","FolderView") Then WinActivate("classname=WorkerW","FolderView")

WinWaitActive("classname=WorkerW","FolderView")

Send("{LWINDOWN}{LWINUP}")

WinWait("classname=Shell_TrayWnd","Running Applications")

If Not WinActive("classname=Shell_TrayWnd","Running Applications") Then WinActivate("classname=Shell_TrayWnd","Running Applications")

WinWaitActive("classname=Shell_TrayWnd","Running Applications")

Send("{ESC}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}")

WinWait("classname=WorkerW","FolderView")

If Not WinActive("classname=WorkerW","FolderView") Then WinActivate("classname=WorkerW","FolderView")

WinWaitActive("classname=WorkerW","FolderView")

Send("dr{ENTER}")

WinWait("resume2009 - Microsoft Word","MSO Generic Control ")

If Not WinActive("resume2009 - Microsoft Word","MSO Generic Control ") Then WinActivate("resume2009 - Microsoft Word","MSO Generic Control ")

WinWaitActive("resume2009 - Microsoft Word","MSO Generic Control ")

Send("{LWINDOWN}{LWINUP}")

WinWait("classname=Shell_TrayWnd","Running Applications")

If Not WinActive("classname=Shell_TrayWnd","Running Applications") Then WinActivate("classname=Shell_TrayWnd","Running Applications")

WinWaitActive("classname=Shell_TrayWnd","Running Applications")

Send("{ESC}")

meatsack,

If you add this line to your script, you will be able to see the line where it is hanging by looking at the tooltip in the tray icon:

Opt("TrayIconDebug", 1)

There are a couple of step-by-step debuggers in the Examples section, but I believe that they do not work well with Vista/Win 7 because of UAC. If you have the full version of SciTE4AutoIt3, there are a number of debugging tools available to you there as well (automatic insertion/deletion of trace lines, ConsoleWrite, MsgBox commands, etc).

I hope that helps.

P.S. When you post code please use Code tags - it makes the thread much easier to read. Put [autoit ] before and [/autoit ] after your posted code (but omit the trailing space - it is only there so the tags display here). Or press the blue button just under the BOLD toolbar button.
