Re: RFE needing your support

I hesitate to bring this up since it happened a few months ago, I am very
inexperienced with RDi debugger, and I remember no specific details (I was
in a hurry and ended up using green-screen debug), but the problem with the
debugger in RDi picking up the wrong source is not limited to iProject
work. I even had assistance from someone else here who has experience
using the debugger and he was baffled as well.

I haven't had opportunity to use the debugger since then, so...

So, not much help with this, but maybe it spurs a memory of a similar
experience from someone else here who can provide more details.

I voted for the linked RFE.

Hi folks,

This one will not impact as many of you as some but for those of us who
are impacted …

The basic scenario is this. If for any reason you have an old outdated
version of a source in an i Project and you then set an SEP to debug the
latest version of the program when the debugger fires up it will select the
_wrong_ source! It will by default pick the old version from the project.

There is no workaround for SEPs as there is no launch profile that can be
modified.

Let’s just say that I personally wasted a whole bunch of time trying to
track down the cause of this problem and I’d like to have a fix in RDi so
that others don’t experience it.

RFE is here:

please vote for it if you think we need a way of avoiding this behaviour.
