[Eric] Shell and Breaking on Exception

[Mark Mordeca]

Hi,



I’m sorry to bring this up again, but I did more troubleshooting into what
is causing my problem and have narrowed it down to a difference in eric4
versions.  Up to version 4.4.12 (r3937), eric4 behaves as I expect; i.e.
when I run with F2 (or shift+F2) and an exception occurs, I say yes to if I
would like to break at the exception, and then in the shell I can type
“self” and variable names to access the variables in the memory space.
When I upgrade to the next version in line, 4.4.13 (r3989), this no longer
works – when I say yes to break at the exception and type self (or other
variables that do exist) in the shell, I get not defined errors.



The change log is unhelpful, the entry for 4.4.13 is “bug fixes”.  Can you
please provide any insight into what changed in between these two versions
that could cause this?



Thank you,

Mark

There was nothing removed in this area and it works over here.

Greetings,



I have recently upgraded my version of Qt/PyQt and so have upgraded my
version of Eric4 to the latest one.  In the previous version of Eric I was
using (4.3.10), when an exception occurred and the dialog appeared, I would
choose to break at it and then I would be able to use the shell to interact
with variables in the memory space.  After upgrading to latest version I
cannot interact with the variables when choosing to break at an exception
anymore and so now when an exception occurs I have to choose to break at
it, explicitly place a break point at that spot and then re-run in debug
mode.



Was the functionality that occurred in the old version removed or made as
some setting that is defaulted to off now?  Or is there something weird in
my new setup that causes this? Any help would be appreciated.



Thanks,

Mark
