Debugger options
These options modify the behavior of the debugger.
- Enable debugger (User)
-
By default the debugger is disabled unless this option, which can also be modified through the menu item »Debugger«-»Enable debugger«, is activated.
If a test is interrupted by a breakpoint or be pressing the "Pause" button, the debugger is activated automatically. Similarly, starting a test run with "Step in" or "Step over" will activate the debugger for the duration of that test run.
- Always open debugger window (User)
-
When test execution is halted and the debugger entered QF-Test can optionally open a separate window for the debugger. This option determines whether debugging should happen in a separate window or the normal test suite window.
- Show variable bindings automatically (User)
-
When test execution is halted and the debugger entered QF-Test can display the current variable bindings in the workbench window. If this option is active the variables are shown automatically each time a test run first enters the debugger. Alternatively the variables can be viewed in the debugger window or shown in the workbench window via the menu »Debugger«-»Show variables«.
- Automatic breaks (User)
-
These options describe the situations in which execution of a test will be suspended and the debugger entered:
- Break on uncaught exception
- The debugger will break if an exception is thrown that will not be handled by a Catch node.
- Break on error
- The debugger will break if an error occurs.
- Break on warning
- The debugger will break if a warning occurs.
