How to fix debugging?

Guys,



For unknown reasons debug functionality stopped working, i.e. TC ignores toggled break points and Runner.Pause operator.

List of things that I did to fix that:

0. Debug button is pressed! (and breakpoints are fully red)

1. I've reinstalled MS Script Debugger

2. I've checked Disable Script Debugging flags in IE (they are checked)

3. I've installed last TC 8.70 (instead of 8.60)

4. I DO have an administrative rights on that VM

5. VM was restarted at least once.



But all of this haven't help.



Any other ideas how to make it work?



Thanks in advance,

Alexey.

  • Hi Alexey,



    Do you have MS Visual Studio installed on the target machine? If you do, try following the steps below:



    1. Close Visual Studio and TestComplete.

    2. Rename the VS7Debug folder on your disk (as a rule, the folder is located here: "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VS7Debug"), for example, to _VS7Debug.

    3. Reinstall the Microsoft Script Debugger using the link from this FAQ article.



    Does this help?

    Renaming VS7Debug folder haven't help.

    But I started to do all of these actions described at hinted article (http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/8874/) i. e. re-install Script Debugger, verified registry and after I re-register pdm.dll and restart VM - it started to work!



    (to say truth - I've also uninstall Visual Studio before, but it also haven't helped)



    Thanks a lot, Lexi!



    I would also recommend to make (if possible) mentioned article more relevant for site search because I failed to find it vie site search and google.
