Stepping through my script is out of synch

Postby Coder For Food » Wed Jul 13, 2016 7:45 pm

Hello, I have what I think is a fairly large IA3 project that has ~20 or so separate script files. My problem is that all of a sudden, where before I was able to step through my script, and the blue cursor was in synchronisation with the source code behaviour, and watch variables, all of a sudden, they are out of synch up or down a couple lines. Is this a known problem that can be resolved by some sort of bug fix or project master rebuild?
Thanks you in advance for your help on this matter.

Dear Coder,

does your project use localized resource strings?

If true, I suggest you to try to re-import all your localized resources in your project ... including all Shared Strings.

Hope this helps you.

Unless the IA template project Quick Start adds this by default, I do not believe my project uses localized resource strings as I did not manually add this after the fact. Anything else? The strange thing is the set breakpoints stop the blue debug cursor at the expected location, however, the variable values and source code execution behavior is our of sync with me project. If I build a new project from the Quick Start template, all behavior is as expected. It seems to be just my project that I have added source and script files to that misbehaves. Any other ideas?

Dear Coder,

if you have any chance to send me very minimal project that replicates the issue, I'll try to have a look.
At this purpose, you may create a clone of your original project, and then to proceed to minimize it step by step.

Unfortunately, I don't see any other possible alternative in order to investigate on the possible cause of the issue you seems to have.

Hello Francesco,
OK - I will try and send you a simplified version of my project that demonstrates this issue. Is there a "clone" option within IA that I do not know about or by "clone" do you simply mean "copy"?

Hello,
RESOLUTION:
By upgrading my installed IAx3 program to the latest version IAx4 and opening my IAx3 created project in IAx4, the problems of displayed debugging steps being out of synch with what was actually happening in the source code has been resolved. I am guessing that either a bug fix in IAx4 or using IAx4 against my IAx3 project somehow resolved the problem.
Nice to have my IDE debugger back.
