Is there anyway to debug the script as it is being used.

I like Osbot and i know with other sites it is possible to debug the code step by step as the bot runs.

 

Is there anyway to do this is osbot?

Local script yes not sdn script well theoretically maybe but you wont be able to see the code of a sdn script

It is a local script. I try and run in eclipse but it says there is no main.

Any idea how to do this? Cause I believe you're talking about debug messages which the scripter can place anywhere in a script, and op is talking about running a "debug tool" (dunno how it's called) on the script. Like pressing next next next and it jumps though code line by line.

You should be able debug it in the client.

i meant where i can put breaks in the code, or where i can see it is in the code to see where the code is breaking

 

Just use the built in logger of osbot, or your IDE's stack outputter to debug the script, for instance if you wanted to check a certain condition was being met, and verify it, then you could do:

if (some condition) {
    log("debug comment here");
    do whatever;
    }

 

Whereby if the debug text isn't then printed in the log, you can safely assume that the condition is invalid, or isn't being executed/reached in your code.

See this thread:

https://osbot.org/forum/topic/100378-osbot-24678-bot-farming-made-easy-cli-finished/?_fromLogin=1

 

In short. You run the osbot via cli

java -jar "osbot.jar" -debug 5005 

 

And in your IDE you set to debug on that port.
