XSLT Debugger: Search in output

[spyro]

Hello,

the XSLT debugger would be FAR more useful if one were able to search in the output window, jump to a specific line etc.

It's very difficult and time consuming to find the few lines of code in the result which are interessting for me in a particular case.

Unfortunely the search window does only affect the input but not the output window. Pretty printing is also not working in debug mode.

Thank you,

Hello,

Note that Find > Find/Replace also works in the output window from the debugger, so you can search in it.

Format and Indent also works in the debugger: Document > Source > Format and Indent. You can also add the Document toolbar to the Debugger layout and use from there: Window > Configure toolbars, check Document.

Adrian

Hello,

Quick Find does always search in the main window (here: XSLT-Script) instead of the windows which has the focus (here: output window). That's just very strange and slows down the debugging unnecessary.

Would be glad if you can fix this.

Thank you,

Hi,

The Quick Find bar was designed to be used only in the editors, that's why it behaves that way. On the other hand the Find/Replace dialog is a lot more flexible in this regard and works on any window, but I guess you find it too heavy and cumbersome to use.

I've logged a request to our issue tracking tool to make Quick Find more flexible and allow it to search in the other window panes with text components.

Regarding pretty printing (Format and Indent), could you please clarify where you were trying that? Do you want to format the debugger output?

Hi,

This has been implemented in the current development stream.
Starting with v14.1 (to be released this fall) the Quick Find will search in any text window, including the debugger output.
