Implementers menu item in ENVY Debugger

[Gaurav Sharma]

Hi,

We have VA Smalltalk 7.5.2 version installed on a linux machine. The senders/implementers/Local implementers menu that appears on right click after selecting a method name is missing on the ENVY Debugger. This happens only on the Linux machine and works fine on a windows machine(menu item appear on windows machine).

Also, I noticed that the 'Through' button is also missing on the ENVY Debugger on the linux machine.

Is there any specific reasons for it or do I need to install any specific config map?

 

Thanks!

Sounds like you're using the default debugger (or possibly the SstDebugger) rather than the StsDebugger.  Go to the Transcript, and choose the menu Options/Open Preferences Window...  Then, have a look at what you have entered in the Debugger Class: dropdown on the System Configuration tab.  Depending on what you've loaded into your image, the debugger is sometimes changed.

Thank Thomas!
Due to some reason the Open Preferences Window... is throwing a
runtime error. But I was able to change the Debugger to StsDebugger
through the image and got the Through button as well as the
implementers menu item.
But I noticed that the 'Through' button hangs the whole application
many times, this works fine if I use the over & into button. Any idea
why the debugger hangs?

My first suggestion would be to start with a fresh image.  The hanging debugger and problem opening the preferences window suggest there's some problems with your current image.  You might install the "HQA Code Snapshot Tool" from vastgoodies.com to capture your work in progress.  Failing that, you should see what processes are actually running in your image to see if some things that are running shouldn't be.
