Suddenly no values in variable window

[Jean Vallee]

Suddenly I’m finding myself flying blind. Watch window is not showing any values. window flashes like it’s being updated when I step thru code. I rebooted already How do I get it back? Jean

You always need to check the Thread Manager. You may not be debugging on the correct thread.

I should have mentioned that I already checked that. Only 1 thread
running. If I had more than 1 I could not step thru code if I was on the
wrong one, correct?

But now the problem is intermittent. Sometimes it displays values and
sometimes not. I need to see what it thinks a value is since I disagree
with it.

This is getting urgent. I get values when I step thru main but nothing
beyond that unless I'm stepping thru a library. Then I get me values.

No local values being shown. Any ideas on how to fix this?

String and integer values are not the problem. I'm setting the status bar
to show them as needed.
What I need are objects, things I need detail for.

Have I overwhelmed the IDE?

My compiled project file is only 726K and I'm not nearly done!

Hi Jean,

I have found this to be less of a problem since the most recent release, where I upped the amount of memory available by a factor
of 50 to the chunk of code that was showing variables. Are you running the most recent release? If so, it may be a separate
problem. As a workaround, try peppering your code with this line:

fsfileoutputstream.new("debug.txt", append=.true).putstring("var=" + varname + "{d}{a}", 1)

If varname is not a string, do the appropriate conversion to it.

Ciao, Neil

and yes I'm running the latest. Is there not something I can do???

I doubt you have overwhelmed the IDE, but this problem first appeared as the projects got bigger, and I finally investigated it
and found the amount of memory reserved for expanding an object was too low, so I recently increased it quite dramatically.
