Script Debugger not working anymore

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I got a very annoying problem recently in one of my templates and the databases derived from that template. The LS Debugger doesn’t work anymore. Now I have no chance to set breakpoints, see values etc. I simply don’t get the debugger window. Even Stop Statements in the scripts don’t work anymore. For some time I was at least able to see the PostOpen Event of the Database Script (but no more), but by now even that’s gone.I did the following things which did not help in any way:

  • recompile complete template

  • rename all script libraries

  • empty the database cache on Domino

  • restart Domino

  • restart Notes-Client

  • fixup of the template/db

  • compact the template/db

  • made a new copy of the template/db

The problem is reproducable on various Notes-Workstations (all 6.0.4). But it does indeed occur only in one specific template and its derived databases.

I’m very thankful for help and suggestions.

Subject: Script Debugger not working anymore

I had the same problem today and was stumped for several hours. I read this post and laughed…

On returning to my problem, inspired and using the delete everything on my form and paste it back in one by one method (A common tactic (normally in web development)), I nailed the issue down to one action. This action was a script action with nothing in it (useless indeed). On adding a comment to this action or deleting it or putting some code in it, the debugger started to work again.

trying my db on other machines gave me the cannot debug scripts in a dialogbox message which I must have set to don’t display.

As to why Notes seemed to think I was debugging scripts in a dialog, I have no idea!

I hope this helps someone one day with their notes development.
