In line with a recent post I made mention of the fact that I don't use Red Dot breakpoints as they are ignored too often. I know others have had similar complaints. But in the interest of seeing if improvements have been made I just had a go in LC 7.1 rc 1 on OS X 10.9.5 and made the following discovery.
New Mainstack with Script Debug Mode On. Add a button Add this script to the mouseUp handler of the button. repeat with x = 1 to 10 add 1 to x end repeat beep Apply and click the button and confirm it beeps. Now add a Red Dot breakpoint at the line: add 1 to x Add the following Breakpoint condition: x > 4 Click the button and confirm the Debugger stops with x shown as 5 Now amend the condition to: x = 4 Click the button and on my machine the Red Dot is ignored. Now amend the condition to: the quick brown fox Click the button and on my machine the Red Dot is ignored. >From what I can tell there is no validation of what you type into the conditional box and if it happens to be invalid, then the Red Dot is ignored. Very easy if you happen to have a long and complex condition and just happen to be missing a ) or a ". The fact that valid = conditions are also ignored is clearly a bug. I expected to find a Bug Report at the QCC but nothing stuck out. I know that this has been a long standing issue so can: a) you confirm that you see this too b) suggest an appropriate bug number to add my findings. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
