I want to do remote debugging of Squish application.
I am following document at:
http://kb.froglogic.com/display/KB/Configuring+a+remote+squishserver
for the same.
Step 1 and Step 2 went well, even I able to see the logs in terminal from remote application.
But, the debug point is not hitting in Squish IDE. Even the debug view shows nothing though I have done the exact steps given at Step 3, even restart of Squish IDE didn't help.
Whether or not Squish stops at a breakpoint (I suppose that's what you meant when you wrote "debug point") is independant of where the squishserver process is running. You can verify that the remote server is used simply by launching a test: you should see some output in the console where squishserver is started about incoming network connections.
When running squish remotely you could add the flag: "--reportgen xml3.3,xml3report" This will create a report with all the information about your run. You can then import this report into squshIDE and use "vpdiff" tool to analyze your failure.
There is a command line tool called "vpdiff" which comes in SQUISHDIR/bin.
There is an article about it here:

Introduction
I've looked around and haven't seen anyone else having my issue.
Basically, I am wanting to run a start.bat file to start up my server before I start up my debugging session. I currently have my debugging inside of an IntelliJ Configuration and it works well. The problem is that in the options for my configuration I can't seem to add an "External Tools" task to the Before Launch section. I was able to add a maven task here previously. However, when I follow the following steps, the "start.bat" is not added.
First I go into Settings->Tools->External Tools to add my Spigot-Server tool which basically calls the start.bat file inside of a test-server directory.

Second, I go into my "Debug Spigot" configuration and at the bottom, I see a "Before Launch" Section.
Snippet of Spigot Debug options
I click on the + inside of that section to add a new task, and I click on "External Tools"

And then I make sure my Spigot-Server task is selected.

And then once I hit okay, the window closes but I don't see a new task added to the before launch section. It looks the same it did before I clicked on anything. I also don't see any status message at the bottom of IntelliJ
I basically expect the task "Spigot-Server" to show under the Before Launch section. This would basically start up the server and once the server was completely started, it would then launch the debugging configuration.
I think it may be an issue with IntelliJ's UI. I searched IntelliJ's issue tracker But couldn't find any that matched.
I'm wanting to know if there are any work arounds to get this setup in IntelliJ>
I was able to achieve my goal by doing some workarounds that I discovered with the help of CrazyCoder. I found this stackoverflow question that told me about the batch plugin.
I was able to create a Batch run configuration for a wrapper batch file that gets around the limitation CrazyCoder mentioned. He said that even if I did get my setup where my server runs before my debugging is launched, my debugging would never launch. This is because the terminal process needs to exit before the next task starts.
To get around this this is the wrapper batch file I created.
#echo OFF
START "Spigot-Server" /D C:\Users\rocke\Documents\Programming\Minecraft\Spigot\capture-the-carrot\test-server "start.bat"
ping -n 3 127.0.0.1 >nul
It basically uses the "START" command to run the task asynchronously and then waits 2 seconds. This is because all I need to do is wait for the start.bat command to run the very first part so that it establishes remote debugging. And then the wrapper ends after 2 seconds (the 3 represents the number of seconds I want to wait +1). And this allows the Debugging process to start while also ensuring that the server has setup remote debugging!
I'll just share screenshots of my configuration if anyone wants to do the same.
Maven Build Configuration
Spigot Server Start Configuration
Remote Debugging Configuration
The way this is setup is once I run the Remote Debugging Configuration, it has a "Before Launch" Task of Spigot Server. Spigot Server also has a "Before Launch" Task of Maven Build Project.
So my Maven Build Project runs, then my Spigot Server wrapper runs and after 2 seconds terminates, and then my Debugging Configuration runs!

I am using Loadrunner 2020 community edition. I have created a script in TruClient and when trying to replay in develop script mode, getting 'replay failed to start see vugen log for more details' error.
'logfile.log' was empty and 'mdrv.log' file had last replay log details when checked. Are those the files vugen referring to? What is the solution for this?
I faced the same issue, but was able to fix it as follows.
When I compiled the script, I did not see any errors in the output, so I checked the "Output -> Chromium(IE) - Interactive Replay" log which had several errors related to parameter files. When I fixed those, I was able to replay the script.
Output Log Path
It's not a problem and actually is a nice side affect, but it is confusing me.
When I run the test suite via the command line I see IE pop up and the test run.
When I run it with the exact same arguments from the Task Schedular though it doesn't display IE. The test seems to run correctly (I'm getting the expected TestResults.xml so it all looks OK.
Why's this happening though?
The command is:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\NUnit.org\nunit-console\nunit3-console.exe" "Path_to_test_assembly"
P.S. I'm using the .NET version of Selenium with the IE web driver.
Ok, it seems that the problem is with your access to remote machine. Your IE test are running as a background process on that machine, or running on wrong sessionID. It means that there could be more users/accounts, and your test is running on wrong one.
I'm not sure how exactly are you running this, but you could check your session ID's by typing qwinsta in command line on that machine.
If you want it to run properly you should pass this sessionID as a parameter when connecting to remote desktop, for example, if using psexec and your sessionID is 2 than you pass "-i 2" when starting it. It means that it will interact on user with sessionID 2 on that machine.
I have 5 scheduled tasks that are scheduled to run every day at 9.30am. The schedule is basically a vbs script that opens an excel workbook and runs a macro. These 5 schedules can run fine if i run them seperately and 9 times out of 10 they run fine if I simulataneously run them from task scheduler. I do this by highlighting them all and then pressing run.
But sometimes when the task scheduler is doing its schedule they will fail. Sometimes all of them fail, sometimes some of them fail, but most of the time they all succeed.
Once I okay the errors(will post this next time it occurs) I can see the excel.exe in my Processes in TaskManager they are left hanging. I cannot see them in Applications because I run them in the background. Whilst here I know I can right click on the excel.exe and do a Create Dump file, but not sure what to do with this.
What I am interested here is discovering why they are failing? How do I debug it? Can I get a dump? how do i do this? I am sure the code is not perfect but the fact that they run fine seperately and most of the time fine together I am wondering is some memory resource getting used up at this time. This is what I would like to find out.
I know that i could space them out to run every minute, and this is something I might do but I would like to answer my questions above first.
Note: The vbs script in question can be found here in a previous question I asked.

EDIT3 : A useful walkthough example with commands
Crash Dumps
Load in Windbg. Then File menu - Open Crash Dump. Type !analyze (note wrong spelling)
Debugging
You can also start in a debugger.
windbg or ntsd (ntsd is a console program and maybe installed). Both are also from Debugging Tools For Windows.
Download and install Debugging Tools for Windows
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/hh852363
Install the Windows SDK but just choose the debugging tools.
Create a folder called Symbols in C:\
Start Windbg. File menu - Symbol File Path and enter
srv*C:\symbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols
then
windbg -o -g -G c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /k batfile.bat
You can press F12 to stop it and kb will show the call stack (g continues the program). If there's errors it will also stop and show them.
Type lm to list loaded modules, x ! to list the symbols and bp symbolname to set a breakpoint
If programming in VB6 then this environmental variable link=/pdb:none stores the symbols in the dll rather than seperate files. Make sure you compile the program with No Optimisations and tick the box for Create Symbolic Debug Info. Both on the Compile tab in the Project's Properties.
Also CoClassSyms (microsoft.com/msj/0399/hood/hood0399.aspx) can make symbols from type libraries.
You can schedule this command line instead.
Autostarting Programs in Debugger
You can also make windbg attach to any specific program when started. See gflags.exe. Only in GUI mode.
Errors
Also get the error number. TS keeps a history of runs and their errors. TS has a history tab.

I am starting to develop a new air/html/ajax application today and for some reason my trace() output is not being printed to the console window anymore. Plus, I am also not getting any error messages printed for syntax errors or runtime errors. I tried this on a different machine and there was no problem, so it must have been something wrong with this particular machine. I was thinking it had to do with me using the flex 3 sdk, but removing that from my path variable did not help, neither did reinstalling the air sdk. If anyone has encountered this before, help would be greatly appreciated.
This is not specific to the debugger player. The availability of trace statements in the console from ADL is dependent on whether or not any one of the following settings are turned on in your mm.cfg file:
ErrorReportingEnable
TraceOutputFileEnable
Either one of those will block trace output in the console window - stderr I believe - and instead (in the case of TraceOutputFileEnable) redirect it to a log file.
More information about mm.cfg is available here.
I figured it out. It is because I installed the flash debug player. Now the error messages all go the the log file where the debug player writes to.
