I’m looking to replace the current command line debugger tutorial, with a new one that is more detailed and has a walkthrough. Try it out and let me know your feedback in this topic.
I’m especially interested in knowing how it worked for people that are new to the command line debugger, but all feedback is appreciated!
Thank you for explaining trace points vs. spy points vs. break points - I could never sort this out until now with your explanation! Sometimes it felt harder to understand the tracer than finding the bug in my code.
Great! That frustration is why I wrote it, it was very confusing to me as well.
If you have time, try out the new version of the graphical debugger overview too and let me know any feedback you have there as well. Kudos or suggestions are all appreciated, I want to know what works and what doesn’t. I want to make these tools as approachable as possible!
I just read through the graphical debugger tutorial, I must say that you are quite talented in writing documentation; I am glad you are contributing it to SWI-Prolog.
