Unable to start Groovy debugging error keeps showing

Every time I either load my project through Ready API or launch my suites through the test runner an error about debugging is thrown, yet I do not have debugging turned on. Well, as far as I can tell...

Hi Emmanuel,

 

To run groovy debugging, ReadyAPI uses the tools.jar and attach.dll files from the Java JDK. These files are included only in the installation package and in the win-32 archive. This is done to avoid possible conflicts with the JRE installed on your computer.

To enable debugging for binary packages:

  • Place the tools.jar file in the <ReadyAPI installation folder>\lib folder. You can get this file from the <JDK installation folder>\lib folder.
  • Place the attach.dll file in the <ReadyAPI installation folder>\bin folder. You can get this file from the <JDK installation folder>\jre\bin folder.

Hello Nastya,

 

Thanks for the response. Is the error thrown regardless if one has turned debugging on? I don't recall it being turned on however it is entirely possible. 

 

I'll find those files, move them over and see how that works out. 

 

Thank you again.
