Breakpoint did not work

[kaivi]

Hi,

I have the problem on a system that TestComplete "ignores" breakpoints. When it reaches a breakpoint, the script pauses for only one second and then stops the entire test. Why? Normally, it paused script execution and waits for my interaction.

Is the debugger turned on on that machine? What it sounds like is that, for some reason, debugging is disabled on that machine and that you're getting the error on the breakpoint rather than actually pausing.

Hi,

yes the Breakpoints are completly red.

Have you tried a repair of the install on that machine?  It sounds like something isn't quite working right and many times an install repair will fix it.

Hi again,

yesterday i was able to fix that breakpoint issue. Today I has the same issue but now I know what I have done to create this "failer/error/bug". If i set a breakpoint and TC stops at it and than i add a variable to the watchlist that is already in it I get this "failer/error/bug". So everytime i starts a test from here now with a breakpoint it will no longer paused the test!

regards

OK... that is probably due to, maybe, the variable in the watchlist not necessarily being valid each test run... if it's trying to evaluate something that it cannot, TC will error out....  If you can post what you are putting in your watchlist, that might help us understand what can be done to rectify.
