Dear All
I was unable to debug any program or script with plsql developer Version 7.0.0. I have studied from the provieded help That Test Window provides an integrated
debugger. To start a debug session, just press the Start button at the left of the debug toolbar instead of the Execute button in the main toolbar. The other buttons are now enabled and you are ready to debug.

But when i write the code in test window and try to debug but
the start button and other buttons are disabled.


Please tell me how can i debug the code. How can i enable the start and step into , step out buttons.

I will be very thankful to you.

Choose New-Test window.

This should look like this:
/forum/fa/2617/0/



Indicated is the button to start the debugger.
Don't forget to set breakpoints, otherwise your code will run to completion.

Dear Frank

I have tried to set the break point but enable to set breakpoin. When i click on the left margin it show the icon of the bookmark on the left side. But there is no icon for breakpoint. when i press the button as you mentioned it execute the whole program. It show output when i click on dbms_output tab.
Suppose I want to run simple loop and want to see the value of i variable on each repetation.

begin
for i in 1 .. 30 loop
dbms_output.put_line(i);
end loop;
end;

But can not debug it.
please tell me how to set the break point. the button start ,step into and stepout. how can i enable them.
thanks for reply.

to set a breakpoint, either click in the gutter (left margin, like you did, but now click slightly to the right of your bookmark), or right-click the gutter and select "set bookmark"

Set the breakpoint in the actual code; in any existing stored program unit.
Setting breakpoints in the test-window seems to be impossible. (but does not make much sense either)

I can not understand your reply. Please explain debuggin process in detail with any example. That can clear the picture. I think that test window should debugg any code.

Thanks for reply.

The testwindow is used to call the code you want to debug.
Your production system consists of series of stored program units. It is these procedures, functions and packages that you want to debug.
You use the testwindow to set up/initialize your session to call the faulty code. Then you debug that code, not the code you use to setup your testcase.

Create stored procedure. Pretend this is the code containing the bug in your production environment. You want to find the bug, so you set a breakpoint in this stored procedure.
Then you need a way to call this procedure. For this you use the Test window. In this testwindow you prepare your variables and call the procedure.

I'm not sure the how's and why's but sometimes when trying to debug in pl/sql developer I need to "add debug information" to the procedure I am trying to debug.

Right click on the procedure and choose add debug information.

I don't think this is the issue in your case as you are not even getting to the debugger, but worth a shot.

Adding debug information to too many sources can lead to a "program too large" error on compilation of a random source.

Dear

I got the point to debug the stored procedure or function. Now the debug ,stepinto and stepout buttons are also enabled. Now when i debugg the program it traverse the function on each statement. But i was not able to get the values of variables. I want to see the values of variable on each occuracne of variable.

Suppose I want to debug function Dis_sal.
