Hi, Stumpii I keep getting an error since version 0.44.3 saying "The debug file could not be created". It is strange as with previous versions I don't get that error and I can use the debug perfectly.

Thanx.

Download v0.44.7 and see if you receive more useful info on the error.

Thanks,

True! Even i was unable to download!

Note: The page opens successfully! but if we click on the setup to be download we gets a 404 page not found message.

[Rexkix]

Is the tool still supported? The download links from the official site are broken, as is mentioned in the previous two posts.

if ($AutoIt.debugger.supported = False) Then
   $Rex.mood = $MOOD_sad
endIf

if you start the debugger and the the option under IDE settings "Enable automatic checking for updates" is enabled, you are prompted for the latest download.

This is of course a circumvention, but for those who want to use it, maybe a solution.

Edit: The problem with the website is fixed.

Thanks. Much better now.

It looks great. I can't wait to get more into it. It can't have been an easy thing to build.

Stumpii, sorry for the late answer I couldn't check it out sooner. I get the same error, this time with a bit more information. The exact error is: "The debug file could not be created. (The path is not of a legal form.)". It is weird as 0.44.2 or previous work perfectly. Hope this helps, and if you need more information just ask.

Thanx

Hi ALandor,

Based on the problems of Saitoh183 I suggest as circumvention to execute the Tidy function (Ctrl-T in the SciTE editor or the toolbutton in the debugger). It capitalize all AutoIt script statements to its default form. (your orignal script will be saved in the Backup folder with e.g. your scriptname_old35.au3)

This suggestion is to avoid a similar problem as reported by Saitoh183.

In case the problem persists, we like to have a little bit more data, so we can try to reproduce your reported problem.

Rev 0.45.0 - 23 Oct 11

Thanks go to BodoWitcha for this release.

Changed: Major changes to the trace feature of the program.

Added: Trace can be scrolled through to show how the program executed.

Fixed: Crash when script file saved in Program Files folder

Fixed: #include with capital chars not recognized. Thanks Saitoh183.

[Alandor]

BodoWitcha, sorry for the late answer, I have some medical issues that prevent me of using the computer. The truth is I don't know what exactly is the "Tidy" function and for what is used for. Actually my problem was just the debug doesn't seem to work with paths the same way since 0.44.3 version. It is not a problem related to anything written on the very own script as the same script can be debugged perfectly with 0.44.2 or previous.

I will try with the latest version and post the result.

Thanx very much.

[BodoWitcha]

The Tidy utility is a function to change the look of the script code.

When you are editing the script code use Ctrl+T and look what happens.

The logic will not change, but the code will be indented based on the structure of the script code, because it looks to e.g the If Then Else EndIf and the For Next words.

It also changes all keywords to the suggested Capitalization, For instead of for, etc.

Version 0.45.0 contains some changes, which solve the problem reported by others, which looks similar to your symptoms.

BodoWitcha

[Alandor]

Well BodoWitcha, I always already indent all the structure and use the right capitalization so actually no need for tidy function. Besides I discover it changes completely the way I use comments which I don't want. And about the 0.45.00 I tried it and this time instead of just a little comment about paths creates an error window related to the program not be able to load the include files probably due to some problem with paths. When the path appears it mixes relative and absolute paths (ex. c:\scripts\script1\.\includes\include1). I lately have no much time so I just use the 0.44.2 when needed the debugger. What I don't understand is why is only me getting this error.

Greetings

[BodoWitcha]

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.

[Alandor]

I see. Thanx very much to all you helping to create such an amazing and useful tool. I am glad to help in anything I can.

Greetings,
