11.6 SP 2 on Windows 7
Needless to say this makes debugging painfully slow. Has anyone else run into this and has a fix?
Yes I've seen this. It's been in various versions as well. Unfortunately I've never managed to track it down. My colleague had the issue, I didn't. It has something to do with the way the workspace is set up but I couldn't track it down.
workaround :
run the code outside of eclipse and use the old debugger. When I run inside eclipse the old debugger complains debugging is not enabled even though it is
Hi,
Can you please let us know how much big is your project? What is the no. of projects and the no. of abl files that are present in your work space? Are you using 32 bit PDS OE or 64 bit PDS OE? While working with large projects, 64 bit PDS OE gives better performance compared to 32 bit PDS OE.
Thanks,
Rama
If your project use a lot of includes, you can check 'Add file only once' + 'Cache the file content' + 'Trim the content' in Windows / Preferences / Progress OpenEdge / Advanced / Parsing.
If you're using SVN, you can also try to temporarily deactivate it.
Try to cleanup items in the Debugger Expressions view (or just use the "Remove all expressions" button)
I sometimes hit this issue when this view holds many items (variables, buffers) I added a long time ago and that are not relevant for the piece of code I am debugging. I imagine it makes the debugger and the connected AVM very busy at looking for these items. Just removing them solves the problem
Switch to the Breakpoints tab instead of Variables or the others.
Variables are not refreshed when the tab isn't visible, which hugely improves step speed!
