Sim Control Panel Step Functionality is Brittle/Broken

Mrockwell2 opened this issue · 2 comments

When looking into Trick's Step mode, I discovered that the step functionality is very brittle. When you have a freeze scheduled that you are stepping into, the simulation hangs. Also in SIM_robot, when the instrumentation jobs aren't toggled off, attempting to step at all hangs the simulation immediately. When all the jobs are on, Step works as normal, barring the previously mentioned issue with a scheduled freeze.

So I realized that the issue that came from having some of the jobs toggled off came from the warnings thrown by the Sim Control Panel itself. It's something we fixed previously so I just needed to update the branch to match with master.

It's looking like the issue with stepping into the Freeze loop is that the Sim Control Panel Freeze Button toggles off the debug_pause job, while entering the freeze loop directly does not. We're going to want to discuss how to proceed.
