Method script.debug

Overload

Attaches the LibreAutomate's debugger to this process, or waits for a debugger attached to this process. Does nothing if a debugger is already attached.

public static void debug(bool showDialog = false)

Parameters

showDialog (bool)

Show dialog with process name and id. If false, attaches the LA debugger.

Remarks

When debugger is attached, this function returns and the script continues to run. The step mode begins when the script encounters one of:

breakpoint (set in the debugger's IDE).
exception.
clicked Pause button in IDE.
System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break, System.Diagnostics.Debug.Assert etc.

If showDialog is false and LibreAutomate is running, attaches the LA debugger. Cannot attach if it's busy (debugging).

Some other programs that have a .NET debugger:

Visual Studio. It's the best, but huge (~10 GB). The community edition is free. Use menu Debug > Attach to process.
Visual Studio Code. It's much smaller. Free.
JetBrains Rider.

note

If the script process is running as administrator, the debugger process must run as administrator too.

note

When attaching an external debugger (Visual Studio etc), make sure it debugs .NET code, not native code etc.
