Debugger: break point ignored

[Marco van der Linden]

Seems that in Beta 14.2 break points are ignored in the test window.

This is pretty easy to reproduce: create as simple procedure as
create procedure my_proc
is
begin
null;
end;

Add debug information and:
- Start debugger
- press the 'run' button.

The code will complete without stopping at the breakpoint.
In PLD 13 the execution halts at the breakpoint.

It seems to work fine. Can you check if:

1. You are running in Debug Mode (F9) and not in Normal Mode (F8).
2. The procedure is compiled with Debug Information (right-click -> Add Debug Information).

Hi Marco,

The debugger in itself is working, as I can step through the code and investigate values for variables. However, I just saw that I forgot an important step in my first posting, which is: add a breakpoint at the code line with the NULL statement.

For me, the steps described in the first post will produce the effect mentioned.

I will check tomorrow if this is maybe somehow related to our (new) 19c instance.

As an aside, F9, for me is the only carry-over from the frog application for 'execute'. I switched over some 20 years ago (pre-Quest, free froggy) and ever since PLD has been my favourite Oracle IDE.
As companies are getting more and more strict in their software policies, it would be (very) nice to have a portable PLD version (either with included OCI.dll or the possibility to connect without any Oracle client (thin or otherwise).

Hmm, weird. I tried it again this morning and now it works. So it looks like the problem was between the keyboard and the chair.
