1.9 - Debugger doesn't seem to run..

Glider (IDE)
#41

M.Y, Hovering over variables does work… Sometimes. Ido have to hover over a couple of times ona few occasions. One time hovering over the variables didn’t work at all. Are you asking because of my previous post in this thread? Just curious since I don’t mention that before. I was a bit shocked to see variables and values (on the variables tab) that I had defined In a previously loaded, and the unloaded, project. Thanks, --john

We ask because hover over variables uses an entirely different way to get the debug state from the simulator. This is the way we intend to replace the current debugger implementation with. It will allow us to do many more and exciting things, like extract autocomplete symbols from a running program, match the static analysis results to the debugger results to improve accuracy and retrieve keys that can’t be retrieved via pairs, and implement watches in a way that won’t require eval.

We are working on the debugger and should have a fix within a few days. It would still help us if you could send a specific test case so we can add it to our unit tests and ensure the problem is actually fixed.

Just installed LG on my MacBook with Corona Build 2013.1106 and added the latest patches.

As soon as I try to open the Simulator (either in Run or Debug mode) I see a constant stream of this in the console window:

2013-05-13 10:20:16.836 Corona Simulator[52549:707] Runtime error

…CostACakePro(default)/CostACakePro/CiderDebugger.lua:1187: attempt to index upvalue ‘tcpSocket’ (a nil value)

stack traceback:

Hello Crussel,

Seems like there is something preventing the simulator from making a tcp connection.  Any other errors shown? Can you also send the IDE logs via help-> send logs.

The problem might be fixed in the update (1.9.02). It turns out the infinite numbers were not being deserialized properly and it caused incomplete debugger dumps. If this was the problem you were having it is resolved. Please try it and let us know.

I’ve just zipped up and sent over my log files.

I installed the updates that were available today, and now when I click on the Debug or Run button, nothing happens… program does not run, no breakpoints, etc.

I looked in Tools -> Options, and I noticed this that there is nothing in the Plugins screen… its all purple.  Here is a link to a picture if you need to see it.

Picture is also attached

Hello Schizoid,

Please either re-update it or go to help->User directory-> and delete the “system plugins” folder. This will force it to copy those over from the app/program files.

Thanks M.Y. Developers,

I did delete the folder, but it didn’t fully work, so I copied the System Plugins folder from the app/program files folder and restarted.  That worked!

I also saw 3 updates that i installed.  

Unfortunately, I am still at a point where I do not see any variables during a breakpoint.

I am confident this will be fixed soon… I do appreciate the work on Glider.  It’s a great tool!

@Chris and John,

Thanks for the logs! It helped us track down the problem(s). Please get the update and try again, everything should work smoothly now.

M.Y. Developers,

Thanks for the update!  It is now working.  I can see variables, and hovering over variables now shows their values.

I appreciate all the work you do on this… Glider is awesome!

^^^ What Schizoid said ^^^

Great job guys, fantastic turn around on the fix!!!

I am having the same problem here on my Win7 machine… earlier today I could not get Glider to boot, but found that I could rename the ‘dev’ directory in AppData.  Doing this gets Glider to load, but no variables appear in the debug window at breakpoints. 

I again lost the ability load Glider a few times along the way.  Do you want logs or a copy of the bad ‘dev’ directory?

Really miss the debugger!

Thanks!

Hello Cosmic,

Sorry you are having this issue.

We sent you a gchat invite. Would you be available to discuss this issue? We can get you up and running much faster this way.

#56

Sure.  I sent you a Google Hangout chat message.

Hello Everyone,

The problem had to do with the Aluminium Oxide look and feel. Upon switching to the system native look and feel the problem went away. This will now be the default look and feel for all windows installations from now on.

M.Y. Developers

#58

Thanks for the fix and super support!  Yes, when I switched to the standard system theme, the problem with the debugger was fixed. 

A little more information:  I actually suspected that my messing with the editor font size might have been the problem with the debugger variable display early on.  But I made the assumption that when I de-installed and re-installed Glider, that Glider would be reset to defaults.  So when the re-install did not fix the problem, I rejected the editor font change as the cause…

Hello Cosmic,

Great! Let us know if you run into any other issues.
