_DebugSetup function issue

[Analytics]

I have very straightforward script:  it just opens app, sends a few keys combinations and closes app. For some reason,  after app is opened and one key is sent-   nothing happens after. i.e. app is not closed.  So, I decided to setup debug environment (with the log file) and send _DebugOut text after each script action, but  nothing happened - no log file is created.

Moreover,  when I commented line where app has to be opened -  script keeps opening app. See attached script where action lines are commented (appname is just to conceal my real app's title;  also, I compiled this script for execution).

It seems like AutoIt is caching script somewhere...  is this because of Debug environment setup ?

 Any suggestion ?

Thanks

You are trying to write your log to "C:\Analytics\test.txt"

Let me guess...the "C:\Analytics" folder does not exist.  If it did, it would have created the file for you.  It will not create the path to the file though.

Folder does exist, but no file is created  (even if I'm creating  just a blank test.txt  file -  nothing is writing into it).  This is why I'm asking for  help to find out what can be wrong.

Look at your _DebugSetup statement below.  Then look at the help file's definition of the parameters.  Fix your_DebugSetup statement and it should work. 

HINT: You are missing a parameter.

 

#include <WinAPIShellEx.au3>
#include <Debug.au3>

;$sFile="C:\Users\Analytics\Documents\Repository\myfile.twbx"
    ;_WinAPI_ShellExecute($sFile, '', '', 'open')

_DebugSetup("Check", 4, "C:\Analytics\test.txt", True) ; start displaying debug environment
     ;Local $hand = WinWaitActive("appname", 20)
     _DebugOut("Open")
    ;WinActivate("appname")
    ; interact with Tableau
    ;Send("{F5}")

    Sleep(3000)
    ;Send("^!S")
    _DebugOut("Save")

;WinClose($hand)
   _DebugOut("Close")

#include <Debug.au3>
_DebugSetup ( [$sTitle = Default [, $bBugReportInfos = False [, $vReportType = 1 [, $sLogFile = "" [, $bTimeStamp = False]]]]] )
