Perform debugging tests

[fcurati-csw]

This is a very useful and interesting project.
I think it's very well done, and I'm trying to understand it better so I can adapt it to my development environment!

I cloned the repository and am trying to debug the IDE to see the execution steps step-by-step.
Unfortunately, I'm having some trouble debugging the RAD Studio Delphi 12 IDE when launched from the IDE itself... do you have any tips or guidelines for debugging this Delphi-Ai-Developer?

Thank you so much!

Hello,

I'm glad to know you liked our project.

To debug the plugin, you need to debug the Delphi IDE itself. To do this, follow these steps: in your IDE, go to the Run menu > Parameters… > “Debugger” option, in the “Host application” field, enter the Delphi executable (default path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\23.0\bin\bds.exe).

The easiest and fastest way to learn how to create and contribute to Delphi plugins is by studying the OTA (Open Tools API). I would also like to recommend our course on OTA. It's the most complete course you'll find on the subject. In it, you'll learn how to create a complete plugin/wizard for Delphi, learning how to interact and program for the Delphi IDE, all step-by-step and with downloadable source code. This method of debugging the Delphi IDE itself is taught step-by-step in lesson 11 of the course. Here's the link if you're interested: https://hotmart.com/pt-br/marketplace/produtos/delphi-ota-open-tools-api/U81331747Y

I'm available to answer any questions you may have, both about the course and the plugin itself. Thank you for your message.

Thanks for the information. I'd like to take the course to better understand how to use this library. Can you tell me if the lessons are only in Portuguese or also in English?

Thanks.

The course is in Portuguese. It's 100% practical, so I believe that even though it's not in English, it will be possible to follow and understand the content. Furthermore, every lesson has the source code available for download and study. Remember that if you purchase the course, you have up to 7 days to cancel and request a refund. In any case, thank you for contacting us and I remain at your disposal.
