In fact not this one, but original version of DBUG by @Heron, with small modifications by @pandel. https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/103142-another-debugger-for-autoit/?page=2#comment-1090579 Thanks for all the hard work! Try to forgive me for my stupidity, but I'm afraid I'm not clear on how to use either _debug.au3 posted above -OR- the DBUG embedded with ISN AutoIt Studio. When I try to use the former by adding "#include <_dbug.au3>" and run my script, that _dbug shows a control window, but no actual code is shown and I have no idea how to set breakpoints or otherwise monitor my script's code. On the other hand, when I try to use the latest ISN AutoIt Studio, I can see my code and I can set breakpoints, but whenever I try to actually start the script I always get the error message: "Debug script could not be created!" Would someone be so kind as to help me figure these things out? Another question is: Can I upgrade the debugger embedded in ISN AutoIt Studio to use the latest version posted above, or are the two incompatible? If it is possible to upgrade ISN AutoIt Studio to use the latest version, what's the best way of doing that? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original DBUG was designed to using with Scite4Autoit3 or other code editors based on Scite. Please try to start your script in standard Autoit3 editor with including #include <_dbug.au3>. When the main DBUG window is appear in Scite4Autoit3 window with your source code try to put break point and then press start in DBUG GUI. About upgrade ISN AutoIt Studio debugger with latest DBUG, please address this question to @ISI360 who is a developer of ISN Autoit Studio. Source code of DBUG is available.

zbigj Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) Hi, all. Does anybody help me? I tried to debug a code in a separate file (test2.au3 in my example), but when I pressed F7 the whole code is made without break. No matter whether I put #include "_dbug.au3" in test2.au3 or not. I use SCITE 3.3.7 and autoit3 v. 3.3.8.1. _Dbug version is 2016.06.24. What I do wrong? I tried to find a solution in forum but without a success. Test1 is a main file. Best regards. test2.au3 test1.au3 Edited February 20, 2017 by zbigj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, that when I'm in Scite with test1.au3 opened and active window and press F5 (not F7 now) I go to dbug - window of dbug opens and everything works fine. Now I pressed F7 and I cannot go into test2.au3 file, which is in the same directory as test1 and this is also a directory when _dbug.au3 exists, I cannot debug the test2 function I inserted there break (blue dot - Ctrl-F2) but neither this not F7 doesn't want to stop in included file.

Developers Jos Posted February 20, 2017 Developers Share Posted February 20, 2017 Why do you expect running test2.au3 would do anything? #include "_dbug.au3" Func test2() MsgBox(0,'Hi there!','Great debugger !') EndFunc It doesn't do anything so will end immediately. Test1.au3 however does include test2.au3 and then starts Func test2(), so will show something. #include "_dbug.au3" #include <test2.au3> test2() Jos SciTE4AutoIt3 Full installer Download page - Beta files Read before posting How to post scriptsource Forum etiquette Forum Rules Live for the present, Dream of the future, Learn from the past.

I made software in AutoIt3 which is several thousand lines long, divided into many include files. It's impossible to have all in one single file, I made a library which I uses in many programs - there is no sense to repeat the same code, just for debugging Thanks for explaination.

I tried to make an example as simple as possible and ask it there is a possibility to debug code in include files - that's why I made test1 and test2.au3. Valdemar1970 asked that there is no chance to debug in test2 (include file) and all my hope disappeared Thanks for reading and try to solve my problem.

Command is C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE\au3Stripper\AU3Stripper.exe <main_au3_file> /mo /mo - meant Merge Only (other stripper parameters you can find in docs). After stripping you can found a stripped file in the same dir as the source. Open it in editor and add #include "_dbug.au3" at the include section of stripped file, then start it with F5 to debug.

Regards Hi, @zbigj. Workaround for debugging include files is: Open your Main au3 file and found #include section Split includes on two parts - your own includes files and standard Autoit UDFs (and/or UDFs that you don't want to debug) Comment all includes that you do not need to debug and save file. Run au3stripper with /mo parameter "C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE\au3Stripper\AU3Stripper.exe" <main_au3_file> /mo Open stripped au3 file and put all commented includes at the includes section of it, uncomment it and add #include "_dbug.au3" Start your script on debug with F5 as usually.

GordonShumway Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 (edited) Had to do 1 modification to _Dbug.au3, namely adding var $DBG_tabSet to a Global statement. Quote "C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Include\_Dbug.au3"(244,47) : warning: $DBG_tabSet possibly not declared/created yet It does not occur in the supplied examples because the #Include "_Dbug.au3" is before the Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1).
