I just started to do my first steps in PB 2017 R2.

I migrated a small application from PB 12.1 to PB 2017 R2 without any problems.

Now I noticed a behaviour change in debugging my code.

I usually use the debugbreak() - function to set the breakpoint and debug from this position.

Procedure in PB 12.1:

- Run application with Run-Button

- Execution stops at debugbreak()

- Used Step In / Step Over and so on to debug

Procedure in PB 2017 R2:

- Run application with Run-Button

- Execution stops at debugbreak()

- BUT NOW: if i click 'Step Over' or 'Step In' the execution is continued (as I would have clicked 'Continue')     (<---- this is the error / my question)

 

Then I tried this in PB 2017 R2:

- Start the application with Debug-Button

- Application 'waits' in the application open()-event

- Click Start-Button

- Execution stops as debugbreak()

- Now Step Over / Step In works.

 

Did anyone else run into this issue?

 

Of course, there is only one click more in the new behaviour, but I would be happy with the old one ...

Thank you for reply

Martin

Hi Martin,

Thanks for reporting this problem! We reproduced it on our end and will do further research to figure it out. We will keep you posted about the progress.

BTW, PB 12.6 has the same issue.

 

Regards... Ken

I tested in PB12.6 and it's an issue there as well. Looks like it's a bug that Appeon inherited from SAP. You'll probably have to log this one.

As Chris noted, using the debug button to run the application works.

Hi Martin;

  I could could not replicate your described behaviour in PB 2017 R2 build 1756. Once I hit a break point or use the "Just in time" debugging option, I can step over or into code without any issues on any PowerScript one line at a time, as follows:

Note: I am using the Fall Creator edition of W10 - version 10.0.0.16299.

Regards ... Chris

Hi Chris,



and did you start the session with the Run- or the Debug-Button?



BTW, I did my tests here on a Windows 7 machine ...

Using the DEBUG button. I can also use the "Just in time Debugging" feature as well.
