Graphical AutoIt Debugger

[Nerdworld]

The AutoIt Debuggers (Setup)-Signature was added to Avast malware list. 100% false-positive, hope you can fix this!

Thanks for your feedback. We understand better what the problem is now and please continue to work with 0.44.2 for the time being until we have fixed the problem you have reported.

It was exactly in that area where some changes were made, which created a problem with relative addressing of include files. This is planned to be fixed in the next version.

You was not alone, but most users do not have an extra relative folder in their include path.

Would it possible to make 0.44.2 available again - I've the same problem with 0.45?

Thanks,

Hello everybody!

I am playing arround Autoit Debugger to get an important application done.

Thanks

Here is how to add a menu item to debug a script from within SciTE.

Add the following after the existing file menu definitions in the 'au3.properties' file in SciTE installation folder. Replace the '35' with whatever the next available number is.

# 35 Stumpii's Graphical Debugger
command.35.*.au3=$(autoit3dir)\AutoIt Debugger\AutoIt Debugger.exe "$(FilePath)"
command.name.35.$(file.patterns.au3)=Graphical Debugger

I tried it, but it doesn't show up in my menu. #35 does, but #36 doesn't. Here is what my entries look like:

# 35 Control Viewer
command.35.$(au3)="c:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Extras\CV.exe"
command.name.35.$(au3)=Control Viewer
command.subsystem.35.$(au3)=2
command.quiet.35.$(au3)=1
# 36 Stumpii's Graphical Debugger
command.36.*.au3=$(autoit3dir)\AutoIt Debugger\AutoIt Debugger.exe "$(FilePath)"
command.name.36.$(file.patterns.au3)=Graphical Debugger

This may be a stupid question, but...

I am trying to debug my app. I am using GUIExtender in my app. It takes forever for my app to actually appear on the screen because the debugger is processing GUIExtender. I don't care about debugging GUIExtender. It is working just fine. Is there any way to have the debugger ignore GUIExtender and just process my script?

I read the help file and I think this is actually a bug. I had followed the instructions here for putting UDFs in their own folder outside the AutoIt folder. When I run my script GUIExtender is processed. If I move it into the include folder (and the option to process the include folder is not checked), the debugger does not process GUIExtender.

I tried it, but it doesn't show up in my menu. #35 does, but #36 doesn't. Here is what my entries look like:

Change this:

# 36 Stumpii's Graphical Debugger

command.36.*.au3=$(autoit3dir)AutoIt DebuggerAutoIt Debugger.exe "$(FilePath)"

command.name.36.$(file.patterns.au3)=Graphical Debugger

To this, and see if it works.

# 36 Stumpii's Graphical Debugger

command.36.$(au3)=$(autoit3dir)AutoIt DebuggerAutoIt Debugger.exe "$(FilePath)"

command.name.36.$(file.patterns.au3)=Graphical Debugger

[robinsiebler]

Nope! It still doesn't show up.

If I change

command.name.36.$(file.patterns.au3)=Graphical Debugger

to

command.name.36.$(au3)=Graphical Debugger

It shows up, but I don't know what that means, yet.

I also had to change

command.36.*.au3=$(autoit3dir)AutoIt DebuggerAutoIt Debugger.exe "$(FilePath)"

to point to the actual path ("C:Program FilesAutoIt3AutoIt DebuggerAutoIt Debugger.exe") or it complained about not finding 'AutoIT'. I'm guessing the space in the path choked it.

Bug - When you click on Help|Visit Forum, it takes you to http://thefoolonthehill.net/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=1, which is a spamfest. Why not bring it to this topic?

Question - I installed Portable AutoIt (http://softwarespot.wordpress.com/code/autoit-portable/). How do I get the debugger to work with than configuration? I just keep getting a mscorlib unhandled exception.

In the help file of AutoIT Debugger, the description for integration with SciTE is not operationnel on my standard installation

Win7 / SciTE 2.28 / AutoIt 3.3.8.1 / AutoIt Debugger 0.45.1.0

If you are a same problem:

replace the line

command.35.$(au3)=$(autoit3dir)\AutoIt Debugger\AutoIt Debugger.exe "$(FilePath)"

by this line

command.35.$(au3)=$(SciteDefaultHome)\..\AutoIt Debugger\AutoIt Debugger.exe "$(FilePath)"

on my config, this change of path corrects integration in SciTE (open the current file from SciTE to AutoIt Debugger):

[c.haslam]

My code is:

$in = '["1230A1+4560B3B","Inspect door, install knob, replace hinge",False,$K99P2],_'
$vec = StringSplit($in,",")
local $vec2[ubound($vec)]
$i = 0
$j = 0
$saved = ""
For $i = 1 to ubound($vec)-1

.
.
.

I have a breakpoint on for line.

In Watch, $vec[1] shows as ["1230A1+4560B3B . It should be ["1230A1+4560B3B" i.e. the last character is mssing.

This is also the case for $vec[4]

Thank you for the Debugger! It is a signifcant advance!

...chris

BTW I tried to report this problem through the Debugger, but The Fool on the Hill forum complained, inter alia, that my email address is too short.

[c.haslam]

In v. 0.45.1.0, the Step Over button is missing from the ribbon. It was there in a previous release. It is still in a screenshot in the Help.

I didn't find its shortcut in keyboard shortcuts.

Ransacking my memory, I think it is Shift_F8 or Alt_F8. Both seem to work.

[DssTrainer]

Please add a "Save As..." button. All files saving as "Untitled" is very difficult to work with.

Step Over never worked. There is no way to determine what the next line to be executed, so I had to remove it.

I would think that it would need to match the folder you used to install the debugger. If you installed in the AutoIt3 folder, or in the SciTE folder. Is this not the case? I don't use SciTE, so I don't have much experience with these settings.

I have cleaned out the spam. The problem with this site is that there is only one thread for the debugger. On my site, each issue/question is a separate thread.

I am thinking about creating a paf (http://portableapps.com/) version of the debugger. The computer will still need .Net of course. In the options, there is already a portable mode that stores the user preferences in the application folder.

Here is the first new issue of the debugger for a long time!

Features:

• Automatic updates.
• COM operation replaced with Windows messaging (script no longer closes when program finishes).
• Output window, showing Console output.
• Automatic program tracing.
• Toggle between Release and Debug AutoIt.
• Script editing using ScintillaNET editor (looks and feels the same as SciTE).
• Single step debug through your script and #include files.
• Debug script in compiled (exe) or script (au3) form.
• View and modify variable values while your program is running. Allows you to test all parts of you program.
• Breakpoints (toggled by clicking on the line number). Breakpoints are stored between sessions.
• Scripts can be debugged by right clicking on the au3 file, running the debugger from the Start>Programs menu, from UltraEdit/UEStudio by using AutoIt4UE, or from within SciTE with this mod.
• Portable version (just install and select 'Portable' instead of 'Full').
• Automatic Context Check option.
• Access to 3rd party tools (Context Check, Koda, open in SciTE, Run script, Compile script, Tidy, Code Wizard).
• Easy switch between Release and Beta AutoIt.
• Syntax highlighting in either SciTE, or Visual Studio style.

Upcoming features (don't hold your breath though!):

• Detection of changes in the script and prompt to automatically reload
• Variable breakpoints (stop if x>1, or @error=1)
• Variable value tooltips in the code window
• Some method of jumping back in the script to an earlier line without restarting. Don't really know if this is possible without the GOTO command.
• Some sort of variable value popup window to allow long strings to be viewed
• Run to Cursor option in code window

Here is link to a web page for the program: Autoit Debugger

 

 

awesome tool ~~~

 

Issue#1.

It is opened automatically the "AutoIt Debugger" popup window when typing in my country language.(Korean Language)

 

 

Issue #2.

I saved to UTF8 my script on SciTE editor (file > encoding > UTF8 with BOM)

It is broken all non-english characters  when open my script above

It seems to be NOT supported  UTF8 encoding.

 

 

thank you.

Can you email the error report for #1 so I can see what the error is. Does it just occur when typing, or copy-and-pasting? If copy and paste, then can you send me some sample that I can paste in to investigate.

For #2, can you send me a sample script so that I can look into it.

Thanks, Stumpii
