I have a main module which requires other modules. I'm trying to debug one of those modules using the debugger in DrRacket. (I'm using windows Vista and the latest Racket.
I open two tabs in DrRacket, one with the main module and one with the module I'm trying to debug (lets call it M). I click the debug icon in the main module and set a breakpoint just before the call to the procedure in module M. I then step through the call to this procedure and the second tab opens with module M but there are no debug icons available and I can't step through module M. I then tried first opening the tab with module M and clicking on the debug icon and then opening the tab with the main module and clicking on debug and setting the breakpoint etc. but when I stepped into module M, the debug icons were available but appeared to be disabled (i.e. lighter color and didn't respond to clicking). Section 1.8.4 for DrRacket says: ------------------------------------ 1.8.4 Debugging Multiple Files To debug a program that spans several files, make sure that all of the files are open in DrRacket. Click the Debug button in the window containing the main program. As this program loads additional files that are present in other windows or tabs, message boxes will pop up asking whether or not to include the file in the debugging session. Including the file means that it will be possible to set breakpoints, inspect variables, and single-step in that file. ------------------------------------- But no message boxes popped up asking me whether I want to include files in the debugging session.. In the Choose Language menu I have "Debugging" chosen under dynamic properties. Can anyone suggest what might be the problem.
