Information on conditional breakpoints is missing about concordextensibilitysamples HOT 8 CLOSED

I could not find the partial string "does not support conditional breakpoints" in the Visual Studio source code. Which debug engine are you using? The Iris sample only applies to managed (CLR) debugging. Conditional breakpoints work correctly in the sample.

from concordextensibilitysamples.

My apologies, wrote it down wrong, it's "Elements does not support breakpoint conditions." (Elements being my language)

from concordextensibilitysamples.

If you are getting that error, you aren't using Concord as the debug engine. That message comes up when the registration for the debug engine in AD7Metrics does not have a key ConditionalBP with value.

Presumably the debug engine is "Elements" and it doesn't support conditional breakpoints.

Hrmm that is very interesting. I am using the concord "managed debugger" as specified, and yes I can confirm Iris works too, but my own language doesn't. Registration is as simple as:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0_Config\AD7Metrics\ExpressionEvaluator\{E100B502-A17C-4DBA-A13E-A819F009689B}]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0_Config\AD7Metrics\ExpressionEvaluator\{E100B502-A17C-4DBA-A13E-A819F009689B}\{5133A728-E83E-4C0D-BCB9-AB02B9C172C0}]
"Name"="RemObjects Silver"
"Language"="Elements"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\AD7Metrics\ExpressionEvaluator\{E100B502-A17C-4DBA-A13E-A819F009689B}]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\AD7Metrics\ExpressionEvaluator\{E100B502-A17C-4DBA-A13E-A819F009689B}\{5133A728-E83E-4C0D-BCB9-AB02B9C172C0}]
"Name"="RemObjects Silver"
"Language"="Elements"

for

.language '{E100B502-A17C-4DBA-A13E-A819F009689B}', '{5133A728-E83E-4C0D-BCB9-AB02B9C172C0}', '{5A869D0B-6611-11D3-BD2A-0000F80849BD}'

And I do get the calls in all ExpressionCompiler, Formatter, FrameDecoder (all working fine).
How does that dialog decide if it's concord or not?

from concordextensibilitysamples.

Is there some way I can get the project so I can see what's going on? Alternatively, is it possible to create a minimal project that causes the issue?

from concordextensibilitysamples.

It's a beta of a closed source compiler (RemObjects Elements) http://www.elementscompiler.com/elements/default.aspx

Signed beta installed here

File/New/RemObjects Elements/Oxygene/.NET/Console app
set bp/conditional as usual (input doesn't matter, it fails before it ever gets to the other side)

If the setup isn't an option, I can try to extract just the Concord project + deps, but would then prefer to send that privately given they're not obfuscated.

This is problem is due to missing registration. Turns out that the debugger UI checks all engines mapped to the language to decide if you can set a conditional breakpoint. Iris doesn't run into this problem because the debugger UI assumes the language is "unknown" because it doesn't have a language service

If you add this to your pkgdef file, it will fix the issue:

[$RootKey$\AD7Metrics\ExpressionEvaluator\{3A176F54-4595-432A-93BB-341BFBD6859C}\{5133A728-E83E-4C0D-BCB9-AB02B9C172C0}\Engine]
"0"="{449EC4CC-30D2-4032-9256-EE18EB41B62B}"
"1"="{92EF0900-2251-11D2-B72E-0000F87572EF}"

This maps the "Elements" language to the Managed Only and Mixed Mode engines - you can add more engines if you need to.

I created a pull request to add the corresponding registration to the Iris sample as well: #19

thank you! that fixed it
