ReadyAPI debugger - Why does it hang when I stop it?

The ReadyAPI debugger hangs for several minutes when I debug a test case and stop in well before the last step. How do I find out why this happens? When should I use the ReadyAPI debugger and when sh...

    rajs2020 I agree with Richie on the version question, 3.0.0 is an old one, and this might be causing issues.

    I would encourage you to ask if the upgrade to the newest version is possible (v. 3.4.5).

    If the issues don't go away, I think contacting support would be the next step.

Hey rajs2020,

What version of ReadyAPI! are you running?
My debugger doesn't hang at all.

Does your weird debugger behaviour occur exactly the same for different scripts of length and complexity?

What does your task manager indicate for your resourcing?

Cheers,

Rich

    3.0.0 and I doubt if I'll be allowed to upgrade it.

    I did not try it with different scripts. I was debugging steps & not script.

    What does your task manager indicate for your resourcing?
    I think it was close to 1gb ram when I force shut it yesterday.

        I don't know how I can persuade my team to upgrade regularly. They want to keep 3.0.0 only in the near future. Can you think of any good reasons for keeping older versions?
