Re: Debugger output repeating the same value in conditional statements

Hey Tate,

Glad you asked!

The Method:New action Editor was definitely designed with the User Experience in mind - It has both a Drag and Drop interface, and the ability to 'Insert in Place'. We are also actively making improvments to the Action Editor based on Feedback from Users.

Side Note for Classic - Did you know you can edit the Action Sequence under 'Order' for an action set?

Double Click on the number under the Order column, and you can enter where in the sequence you would like that action to appear - Saves you having to endlessly click the Up/Down arrows!

If you would like to take a look at Method:New - send me an email to success@method.me and Ill be happy to give you access to Both versions.

Thanks Tate.

Regards,

Ben

Thanks for the response.

No, I can work around this issue just be switching out the order of the variables and running it twice.

I would like to know if there is a better action list editor in the new UI. I haven't switched yet and I am spending way too much time hitting the up arrow 30+ times to add actions into the middle of a list. Does the new UI have insert in place or drag and drop or anything that makes this process faster?

Thanks again,

Tate

Hi Tlundy,

The Method:Classic Debug mode is a very old feature, and one of the first things we implemented - we havent looked at this is some time. Please understand that the Development Resources we would need to divert away from existing projects to look into fixing this would be considerable - and would likely need to be rebuilt from the ground up.

Did you need any assistance debugging some screens? Perhaps we can come up with another workaround together?

Thanks Tlundy

Debugger output repeating the same value in conditional statements

tlundy — Thu, 18 Aug 2016 20:11:55 GMT

I am having a hard time debugging some issues because of what appears to be a bug in the debugger output. Every time I have a conditional statement it always repeats the first comparison value as the second value. For example:

Start Conditional Statement We are comparing the first value which is Probably buy from us. with the second value Probably buy from us. the criteria sign to evaluate the response was = result is :False Comparison type is :Text

The result is correct (false) but the second value should read "Gathering Info". I have reversed the comparison, but whatever I put into value 1 in the form is generated as both first value and second value in the debugger output. This happens with values from screen, values from row and action results. These are all I have tested.

Any help would be appreciated.

My entire debug trace is below. All conditional statements exhibit the issue.
