Debugger doesn't stop on collectible errors
1. Describe the bug
Even when you have "breakOnError": "All" in launch.json, debugger still don't stop on the error statement if it is a collectible error.
There is an option to skip errors when they happen in TryFunction, but it is not obvious why debugger should skip collectible errors. Stop will only happen when you step out of collecting functions and after this it might still be hard to understand why you stopped there and where actual error has happened. Ability to skip collectible errors might be a usegfull option for breakOnError though. But not when All is selected.
2. To Reproduce
- Copy code from learnign portal's example
- Set
"breakOnError": "All"in launch.json - Publish solution with debugger attached
- Run
PostWithErrorCollectaction
pageextension 50100 CollectingErrorsExt extends "Customer List"
{
actions
{
addfirst(processing)
{
// This action doesn't collect errors. Any procedure will stop on the first error that occurs,
// and return the error.
action(Post)
{
ApplicationArea = All;
trigger OnAction()
var
i: Record Integer;
begin
i.Number := -9;
Codeunit.Run(Codeunit::DoPost, i);
end;
}
// This action collects errors. The PostWithErrorCollect procedure continues on errors,
// and displays the errors in a dialog to the user done.
action(PostWithErrorCollect)
{
ApplicationArea = All;
trigger OnAction()
begin
PostWithErrorCollect();
end;
}
// This action collects errors. The PostWithErrorCollectCustomUI procedure continues on errors,
// and displays error details in a list page when done.
// This implementation illustrates how you could design your own UI for displaying and
// troubleshooting errors.
action(PostWithErrorCollectCustomUI)
{
ApplicationArea = All;
trigger OnAction()
begin
PostWithErrorCollectCustomUI();
end;
}
}
}
[ErrorBehavior(ErrorBehavior::Collect)]
procedure PostWithErrorCollect()
var
i: Record Integer;
begin
i.Number := -9;
Codeunit.Run(Codeunit::DoPost, i);
// After executing the codeunit, there will be collected errors,
// and therefore an error dialog will be shown when exiting this procedure.
end;
[ErrorBehavior(ErrorBehavior::Collect)]
procedure PostWithErrorCollectCustomUI()
var
errors: Record "Error Message" temporary;
error: ErrorInfo;
i: Record Integer;
begin
i.Number := -9;
// By using Codeunit.Run, you ensure any changes to the database within
// Codeunit::DoPost are rolled back in case of errors.
if not Codeunit.Run(Codeunit::DoPost, i) then begin
// If Codeunit.Run fails, a non-collectible error was encountered,
// add this to the list of errors.
errors.ID := errors.ID + 1;
errors.Description := GetLastErrorText();
errors.Insert();
end;
// If there are collected errors, iterate through each of them and
// add them to "Error Message" record.
if HasCollectedErrors then
foreach error in system.GetCollectedErrors() do begin
errors.ID := errors.ID + 1;
errors.Description := error.Message;
errors.Validate("Record ID", error.RecordId);
errors.Insert();
end;
// Clearing the collected errors will ensure the built-in error dialog
// will not show, but instead show our own custom "Error Messages" page.
ClearCollectedErrors();
page.RunModal(page::"Error Messages", errors);
end;
}
codeunit 50100 DoPost
{
TableNo = Integer;
trigger OnRun()
begin
if Number mod 2 <> 0 then
Error(ErrorInfo.Create('Number should be equal', true, Rec, Rec.FieldNo(Number)));
if Number <= 0 then
Error(ErrorInfo.Create('Number should be larger than 0', true, Rec, Rec.FieldNo(Number)));
if Number mod 3 = 0 then
Error(ErrorInfo.Create('Number should not be divisible by 10', true, Rec, Rec.FieldNo(Number)));
// Everything was valid, do the actual posting.
end;
}
3. Expected behavior Debugger stops on each error statement
4. Actual behavior
Debugger stops after PostWithErrorCollect finishes.
