Hi, I'm running M5. When debugging I don't get the right contextual menu when pression on the right button. What is more, not even going to the Run menu can I use the options for Inspect, Watch, Run to Line, etc. as they are greyed out (unavailable) So I cannot inspect values. This is particalarly problematic when I want to check static members in static functions as in this cases I don't even have a "this" object to access through the Variables view. This wasn't happening in M4
Do you mean the context menu does not appear when you right-click? The inspect/display actions are available when there is a valid context in which to perform an evaluation - i.e. when there is a selected stack frame, and when in the scrapbook. Please add more details to reproduce the problem.
Hi, answering your questions, >>Do you mean the context menu does not appear when you right-click? I mean that a menu appears, but I don't get any of the debug options in this menu. Before it used to have a debug section with “Inspect”, “Variables”, “Go to line“, etc. These options where present in version M4, even when you were in an invalid context (but grayed out) >>The inspect/display actions are available when there is a valid context in >>which to perform an evaluation - i.e. when there is a selected stack frame, and >>when in the scrapbook. >>Please add more details to reproduce the problem. + I'm using M5: Version: 2.1 Build id: 200302061700 + I'm running a J2EE application with using Geunitec's EASIE plug-in for Weblogic. + The problem is that when debugging, no matter which variable (static or not) or expression I select with the mouse, if I press on the right button I don't get the debug options, they are simply not there (they used to be in M4). I cannot perform those operations through the "Run" menu either, they are there but always grayed out. + I know I'm in a proper stack frame because I can access the local variables through the "Variables" view and because when going over a variable with the mouse I get the yellow tip giving me the object id. + I was having further problems as for some reason the “Variables” view is not showing static variables. I have to say that the static variable I was interested at did appeared once, the first time I passed though that code but it disappeared later on (I can look for more details on this if you want, though is not my primary problem) If you need screen captures or something else, let me know
This sounds like a dup of bug 30971. Please re-set your perspective to see if the problems disappear (or try RC1).
I've installed RC1 and this seems to be fixed. Thanks. I still cannot see the static variables in the "Variables" view though, even when going to the Menu option in the "Variables" view and clicking over "Show static variables". Do you want me to raise this as a different bug?
The problem with variables filters is known in RC1 - this is actually a workbench bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 32528 ***
