AX 2012 R3. How to debug event handlers (delegates)

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Ghetz 2,987

Can anyone help me to understand how to identify what X++ event handlers are subscribed to a delegate?


For example, by pure luck, I know that when posting a product receipt, when delegate \Classes\SubledgerJournalizer\recordedSubledgerJournalAccountEntries is called, the code in \Classes\SubledgerJournalizerLedgerVoucherExt\recordedSubledgerEntriesEventHandler is executed. This is because I read in some other forum post.

However, when I place a breakpoint in some other delegate, for example, I can put a breakpoint in delegate \Classes\SubledgerJournalizer\insertingDistributedTmp, but how can I identify what event handler is going to be executed???

Thanks.

    Another tip to see if there are any subscribed handlers is to peek at the $$eventMap member of the class object in the debugger.

    Indeed, this was what I was trying. However, finally I realized that sometimes a delegate is called, but there is no subscribed event handler, so no aditional code is executed.

    I shall add that once you press F11 in the delegate method and enter the infrastructure classes, you will find this variables:

    xppEvent.numDynamicEventHandlers

    xppEvent.numEventHandlers

    This are integer variables that will tell you the number of currently subscribed event handlers for this delegate. If both are 0, it means there are no event handlers to be executed.

    When you step into your delegate in debugger, press Step Into (F11) again. Don't worry that you stay on the delegate header and there is no other code; you'll get into infrastructure classes handling events and ultimately to the event handler itself.

    When you get familiar with it, you can put breakpoints to more specific places, so you don't have to step through all calls.
