Is the debugger fixed in version 14

[sderrick]

I reported a bug in the debugger in June 2010

http://www.oxygenxml.com/forum/topic6672.html

That prevents the user from inspecting local variables after any variable is assigned a value using an if() statement.

Has this finally been fixed and does version 14 debugger work correctly?

thanks,

Scott

Hi,

This depends largely on the implementation of Saxon 9 and as far as I know this behavior hasn't changed with Saxon 9.4 (bundled with Oxygen 14.0).

I'm assuming(hoping) you folks actually use a bug tracking system to keep track of bugs on Oxygen, if so why can't you just tell me if its fixed it or not?

Your answer raises the question of, "Do you care that your debugger is virtually useless in many circumstances"?

I'm also not convinced the problem is with Saxon.

Blaming Saxon is also lame and doesn't inspire confidence in your product. I worked for years on Borland's IDE and even though there were many instances where Windoze was at fault, we didn't let that stop us from working around their issues. We did this because we believed Borland was Best of breed and nobody was going to make us look bad..

Hi,

We have fixed this in the current development stream and the bugfix will be available in v14.1.

Please follow the original thread.
