Breakpoints and Pause not working

Hey all I am setting breakpoints in my code and they are not stopping the execution of the code. Also I am not able to stop the scripts from running by clicking the pause button as well. I am running Test Complete 7.52.678.5 on this machine anyone have any ideas?

Hi Kris,



Try reinstalling Microsoft Script Debugger.



Does this help? If it does not, try reinstalling Windows Script.



Does the issue disappear?

Sorry for the slow response, things have been busy and I have just had to deal with it for the time being. I ran both installers but still no stopping at break points. The pause button does not work when a script is running as well, you can see the button push but it does nothing.

Hi Kris,



Do you have VisualStudio installed on the problematic box?

If you do, then the following may appear to be relevant:

OK, I read through those articles. I did not have the key in the registry it was looking for so I registered the pdm.dll. Tried it and still no stopping on breakpoints. I do not have Visual Studio Installed but I looked anyway and I had the VS7DEBUG folder so I renamed it then reinstalled the MS Debug. Still no stoppie. 😞 I do have Turbo Delphi on my machine and I am testing a Delphi App if that makes a difference.


Hi Kris,





Do you use scripts or KDT?





Please make sure that the Enable Debugger button on the Test Engine toolbar is activated.





Also, please check whether debugging works for DelphiScript / VBScript projects.

After the steps above did ot work I decided to try everything again fresh. So I closed out of everything rebooted ran all the steps again, rebooted again and tried it and my breakpoints are now working. There must have been a file locked or something when I ran the install before. Everything is working now, thanks for your help!!
