Hello all,

How to debug a RunBaseBatch ?

I tried to put a breakpoint in its method Run or Main, but it is said "The breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document"

And when I "Start" debug, and click Ok button, it will just show message "Completed" and never break at my break point.

Thanks,

Hi,

Ctrl+Alt+P, and find Batch.exe... then Attach ,right ?

At first I thought if from inside Visual Studio and run Start-Debug, no need. But anyway did that, still no break.

Thanks

Hi WWwong,

It's under menu Debug - Attach to process. In the opened dialog you also need to mark checkbox "Show processes from all users" if Batch.exe is not visible.

Hi Sergei,

Yes, did that, but when I run the Action menu which is calling the RunBaseBatch class, it strictly go to end. The "Completed" message is actually right below inside my Main method.

I've put the break point in many places in that class, in Main method : at <class>.prompt() and <class>.run(). And in Run method it self, in 2 places inside. but all ignored.

Thanks

Hi WWwong,

If you run operation wihtout batch processing, you need to use "usual" debugging approach - attach to iisexpress or start debugging from VS.

If you run operation in batch you need to attach debugger to Batch.exe process.

If i understood correctly you don't run operation in batch, so you can debug with "usual" path?

Hi Sergei,

My thought exactly, that;s why at my reply to Blue, I ask should I do the Attach, since I debug from VS. And that's the issue, it's won't break at those break point I already set.

I just tried again, by the Attached process, and attached "Batch.exe", but still it won't bite. The batch job as I checked in Inquiry - Batch job, has Ended, and no log.

Please help.

Thanks,

If it says that no symbols have been loaded, the debugger will indeed not hit your breakpoint.

Please make sure that following settings are in Tools - Options:

- Debugging - Symbols: All modules, unless excluded must be checked

- D365 - Debugging: Load symbols only for items in this solution must be unchecked

If it still doesn't work, please try to build your model and restart Visual Studio.

By the way, are you running your code in batch or not? If you don't run it in batch, you need to attach to w3wp.exe / iisexpress.exe. Only if you really run it in batch you need to debug the batch service.

Hi WWwong,

Also, if you run a RunBaseBatch class in batch, only method run is relevant as main and prompt are executed only for user sessions.

Are you doing the next steps to debug it?

1. Attach debugger to batch.exe

2. Open UI and click menu you want to run

3. In the dialog expand "Run in the background" and mark "Batch processing"

4. Press "OK"

5. Wait until breakpoint hit
