vbhimal Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Can I see line by line execution using debugging feature in AutoIT !!
Moderators Melba23 Posted February 28, 2012 Moderators Posted February 28, 2012 vbhimal,No, there is no built-in step-by-step debugger. There is a graphical debugger in the Examples forum but I have never used it (nor found the need). I debug using a combination of the following:- ConsoleWrite (which does not pause the script)- _ArrayDisplay and MsgBox (which do pause it)- #AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_Debug_Mode (which actually shows the lines being run in the SciTE console) - for this you need the full SciTE4AutoIt3 download. You can turn this on and off so you only get the lines of interest shown.

DelStone Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 I have tried the debugger and 'found it v v slow - to the point of not being usable. My program took around 5 minutes to load and get to the first gui - whereas it usually takes around 5 seconds
BrewManNH Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 It's a debugger, speed isn't an issue when you're trying to find an error, you want accurate information. Most people would use it in single step mode, which is even slower because you have to manually step through the script. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

DelStone Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 Speed is a problem when the program becomes v big and it takes so long to go through, especially when you have to make multiple edits/tests - I now just go with consolewrite/arraydisplay/msgbox - find it much faster and get's the job done.
BrewManNH Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 I tend to use the same method myself, consolewrites/array display/msgboxes etc., but with the debugger you'd only have to insert breakpoints into where you want to do the single stepping through. You let it run by itself until you get to the part that is giving you problems, insert a breakpoint and single step from there until you find the problem. But, like I said, I haven't had the need to use it much lately, but sometimes when you just can't figure out where the problem is, single stepping is really invaluable to figuring it out. At that point, I've probably spent several hours trying to track down an elusive problem so 5-10 minutes more isn't going to be much of a burden. YMMV If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise.
