Debugging - find out where Variables are created

datanibbler — Tue, 19 May 2015 14:42:14 GMT

Hi,

I keep having collisions with outdated variables - i.e., variables that should not be there anymore. i have deleted them all from the variable_manager and in the script, I generate them from an Excel_file in a loop.

=> The only way (I can think of) that these old variables are still re-created every time is that there are typos (duplicates) in the underlying Excel - but I have checked that several times.

Where else can I look for these variables? I really don't know.

Thanks a lot!

Best regards,

DataNibbler

Check your reload script. If they re appear after every reload, most likely they are there.

use the log file to see where they are generated.

Hi DataNibbler,

maybe you have subs/include-variables with "forgotten" functionalities. I use in similar cases Ctrl + F within the script and the log-files to search for things which couldn't be true ...

Thanks!

I don't know why, but now it seems that after I've searched everything for the 20th time, they are suddenly gone ... no idea why I didn't catch them before. I deleted all variables in the variable_manager like before and reloaded the script to re-generate only those that I want. Well, it worked. Finally.

Best regards,
