Debugger: is there a way to skip a message?

Hi

I need to skip message while debugging and I thought that it was possible.
May be I do not see it.

Hi Stef,

I am not sure I understand what you mean by "skip a message”. Is it different then “Over”?

Cheers,
Doru

Re: Debugger: is there a way to skip a message?

Hi Stef, I guess what you want is something like:
1) step into
2) then return entered value like 'self'?

but in a single action.

Re: Debugger: is there a way to skip a message?

Ah, I got it. It is not supported at the moment and as far as I know, it was not supported in the SpecDebugger either.

But, it would definitely be an interesting thing to have.

This would be a nice feature. I never noticed if we ever had it
Two work arounds I sometimes use...
* select rest of the method and "Debug It".
* step-Into, and then "Return entered value"

Re: Debugger: is there a way to skip a message?

Oh, maybe “Return entered value” is what Stef was looking for.

If yes, you can obtain it from the contextual menu of the Stack.

Cheers,

Hi

Like nicolas mentioned.
My scenario was:
I was debugging a process with intermediary results (files that the
process was removing)
and I wanted to keep the files (ie. not executing some messages that I
knew where removing the resources)
because I needed to check the status of the intermediary files.
cop them from the shell but it was boring.
I never thought that I would need that but I think that this is useful.

I wonder if the old debugger got it and spec did not offer it.
But yes it would be nice to have it (may be not as button) but as option.

it is not clear that it will skip the execution because it could do the execution and return the value you type.

Re: Debugger: is there a way to skip a message?

Hi All,

There are ways that I skip execution. Usually in loop processing. If you change the index of a loop, (in the debugger change the number and accept) it will continue on from that index point. You can also easily use run to here, to get to the top of a method, then change the method with false ifTrue: [ ... ] than accept to restart the method. You could also set a temp var like runThis := true. Wrap you code in runThis ifTrue: [ ]. then while debugging you can change the value of runThis in the debugger to skip execution.

All the best,

Ron

What do you mean by "skip"? Not execute? Then not that I'm aware of. But you can:

1. step into
2. return value from method (right click on the current frame)

With a return value of nil that will have the same effect.

HTH,
Max
