[IronPython] Debugging

[J. de Hooge]

Martin,

 

Thanks for your reaction. 

My problems with error reports seem to go beyond what you mention.

A brief example of what I mean is below:

 

lotsOfCodeAndImports_dummy =
'allKindsOfInterestingCodeThatMayStillContainBugsIncludingImportsOfModulesTh
atMayAlsoStillContainBugs'

 

needleInAHaystack = 3

print needleInAHaystack []

 

evenMoreCode_dummy = 'evenMoreInterestingCodeThatMayStillContainBugs'

 

 

CPython tells me:

 

  File "C:\activ_dell\prog\fun\src\funTry.py", line 4

    print needleInAHayStack []

                             ^

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

 

 

IronPython tells me:

 

Unhandled Exception: 'int' object has no attribute '__getitem__'

 

(To be complete it first asks me wether I want to send MS an error report, I
choose "Don't send") 

I am especially bothered by the fact that neither a line number nor a file
name are mentioned.

The last two weeks I have repeatedly just sprinkeled numerous "print
<aUniqueNumber> " statements in my sourcecode, using binary search to pin
down the error...

And I can't use CPython for many of my modules since most of them heavily
relies on .NET.

 

By the way, I am aware that error reporting on a product < 1.0 may
understandably not yet be perfect.

Still I choose to use it because of its obvious potential.

 

Kind regards

Jacques de Hooge
