Debugging/sv

Testa först
Innan du går igenom avbuggningssmärtan, använd testramverket för att kontrollera om standardtesterna fungerar korrekt. Om inte så kanske det kan bero på en trasig installation.

kommandorad
Avbuggningen av FreeCAD stöds av en del interna mekanismer. Kommandoradsversionen av FreeCAD erbjuder alternativ för avbuggningsstöd:


 * -v: Med "v" alternativet så ger FreeCAD en mer pratig utmatning.
 * -l: Med "l" alternativet så skriver FreeCAD extra information till en loggfil.

These are the currently recognized options in FreeCAD 0.15:

Generic options: -v [ --version ]     Prints version string -h [ --help ]        Prints help message -c [ --console ]     Starts in console mode --response-file arg  Can be specified with '@name', too

Configuration: -l [ --write-log ]      Writes a log file to: /home/graphos/.FreeCAD/FreeCAD.log --log-file arg          Unlike to --write-log this allows to log to an                            arbitrary file -u [ --user-cfg ] arg   User config file to load/save user settings -s [ --system-cfg ] arg Systen config file to load/save system settings -t [ --run-test ] arg   Test level -M [ --module-path ] arg Additional module paths -P [ --python-path ] arg Additional python paths

Generating a Backtrace
If you are running a version of FreeCAD from the bleeding edge of the development curve, it may "crash". You can help solve such problems by providing the developers with a "backtrace". To do this, you need to be running a "debug build" of the software. "Debug build" is a parameter that is set at compile time, so you'll either need to compile FreeCAD yourself, or obtain a pre-compiled "debug" version.

For Linux
Prerequisites:


 * software package gdb installed
 * a debug build of FreeCAD
 * a FreeCAD model that causes a crash

Steps: Enter the following in your terminal window: $ cd FreeCAD/bin $ gdb FreeCAD GNUdebugger will output some initializing information. The (gdb) shows GNUDebugger is running in the terminal, now input: (gdb) handle SIG33 noprint nostop (gdb) run FreeCAD will now start up. Perform the steps that cause FreeCAD to crash or freeze, then enter in the terminal window: (gdb) bt This will generate a lengthy listing of exactly what the program was doing when it crashed or froze. Include this with your problem report.

Python Debugging
Here is an example of using winpdb inside FreeCAD:


 * 1) Run winpdb and set the password (e.g. test)
 * 2) Create a Python file with this content
 * 1) Start FreeCAD and load the above file into FreeCAD
 * 2) Press F6 to execute it
 * 3) Now FreeCAD will become unresponsive because the Python debugger is waiting
 * 4) Switch to the Windpdb GUI and click on "Attach". After a few seconds an item "" appears where you have to double-click
 * 5) Now the currently executed script appears in Winpdb.
 * 6) Set a break at the last line and press F5
 * 7) Now press F7 to step into the Python code of Draft.makeWire
