Unable to evaluate parameters in Juno.@enter debugger

New to Julia
1

On Windows 10 with Juno 1.40.0 (I think, downloaded via Julia Pro 1.2), I’m trying to use the Juno debugger via Juno.@enter, but I am unable to evaluate the parameters of my function, unlike in the example. The documentation suggests I should be able to do that.

Here’s the function in a .jl file. I use C-<enter> to evaluate the function at the repl.

function f(x, y, z)
    println(x)
    println(y)
    println(z)
end

I then run Juno.@enter, and the debugger appears to start without trouble, but I get an error when I try to inspect the value of x:

Not sure what’s wrong with my setup. Any idea of where to look?

I experienced the exact same error.
Hope someone can offer a solution.
Thanks

I also experienced the same error message during debugging, when I try to evaluate code, whichs contain a data frame.

4

What exact version of JuliaPro are you using?

5

I’ll try it again soon but when I posted this question. I’d done a fresh install either the same day or at most a day or two before.

6

The current version of JuliaPro is JuliaPro-1.2.0-1_build-51, with which the debugger works fine for me.

7

I`m working with JuliaPro-1.2.0-1. Where do I find the build version?

8

I think you can only find that in the installer’s file name. Just checked with the latest binary for Windows (JuliaPro-1.2.0-1_build-236), and everything seems to be working fine.

9

I didn’t try it with Julia Pro, but I setup Julia 1.3 with Juno and it’s all working. Best I can guess is that I broke my JuliaPro installation somehow.

In particular I sometimes get stuck installing a package because my internet is slow and sometimes if I cancel in the middle things don’t revert correctly.

The new debugger looks pretty cool, so I’m looking forward to using it.

Did anyone find a solution to this?

11

Updating to the latest build of JuliaPro should work. Can you give that a go?

12

Yep that did it, thanks

13

Actually I reinstalled JuliaPro and at first it was working, but I’ve started getting the same error again when, can you advise?

Does that happen for every function you’re debugging, e.g. for something as simple as Juno.@enter gcd(2,3)?

16

yes, just tested it
