Question

debug doesn't work in OneDrive

Opened this issue 4 years ago · 5 comments

This is a curious issue. I discovered that breakpoints aren't being obeyed on source files that are added to a OneDrive folder in Explorer. This took a while to discover the culprit!

If I simply drag that file out of the folder and into a non-OneDrive folder... magic. Breakpoints break as they should.

Would the source file in question happen to have a total path length that is greater than 250 characters?

Ahh, good idea. Path length has bitten me before. I just fired a project up from inside my OneDrive path, verified the breakpoint doesn't work, and the path looks like this: C:\Users\nnn.nnnn\OneDrive - Company Name Here\Documents\AutoHotkey\calendar picker.ahk This one was only 94 characters.

Good to know this one is still active. OneDrive in general has been very weird for me with its behind-the-scenes file manipulation, that may be contributing here. We'll keep this one on the backlog, thanks for the repro steps.

@ElectroLund , have you considered using vscode-autohotkey-debug? It's a more advanced and well-maintained debugger

Indeed, good suggestion. That debugger has two immediate advantages:' 1) debugs just fine on AHK files inside of OneDrive paths. 2) also supports conditional breakpoints Thanks!
