[SOLVED] Bug in Debugger or what?

[Randy Walker]

Nothing happens (no output) when I run this code AND
Nothing Happens when I click [Stop] button in the debugger -- Why?

Code: Select all

cmd$ = "powershell.exe"
paaram$ = "(curl https://www.purebasic.com/documentation/reference/ide_commandline.html).Content"
exe = RunProgram(cmd$,param$,"", 2 | 4 | 8) ;
Output$ = "" 
If exe
  Debug "Something"
  While ProgramRunning(exe)
    Output$ + ReadProgramString(exe) + Chr(13)
    er$ = ReadProgramError(exe)
    Debug er$
  Wend
Debug Output$
;  Output$ + Chr(13) + Chr(13)
 ; Output$ = "Exitcode: " + Str(ProgramExitCode(exe))     
 ;Debug "-------------------------"
EndIf
Debug Output$

Shouldn't the debugger stop if I click the [Stop] button?

Found the problem I think. Stupid me again. I had "paarm$ = ..." instead of "param$ = ..."
Fixed that typo and program finishes execution almopst immediately... DUH!!
(how do you all put up with me?)

You should really use EnableExplicit even if you don't like it. It will help you.

Second Hint:
Typo on

Code: Select all

paaram$ vs. param$

If it wouldn't break literally decades of code, including the PB IDE For some baffling reason, I'd suggest making explicit the default. Typoing a variable name in a MessageRequester or a debug line alone and spending hours trying to find it is nooot fun.
