Hi,

I'm trying to debug a strategy code that is called through an instance of the TesterFactory in Eclipse (Eclipse 3.6.0., Java 1.6.0_20 64bit).

While I can set and use breakpoints in onBar without any problems, breakpoints in onTick or functions called from onTick are only triggered once in a run and then getting ignored.

Do you know why the onTick breakpoints are only triggered one time and if there is a workaround to be able to fully the debug strategy code called from onTick ?

Best,
RR.

I don't have an answer for you on this, though I'll play with it a bit and see whether I run into any problems on my end. I'm using Netbeans.

As an aside, have you had any luck testing orders with the ITesterClient & TesterFactory stuff? My orders never leave the 'CREATED' state.

I tried setting a breakpoint in onTick(), but my onTick doesn't even get executed it would seem. I tried adding an if statement with a breakpoint inside of it, and the was never hit, so I added a System.out.println outside the if statement and that never prints anything. Not sure what the deal is.

Hi Brian, hi support team,

I've got the debugging going with our own strategy codes.
I now can fully debug the strategy including conditional breakpoints in onTick.
I'm not sure what finally did the trick.
The initial post was referring to playing around with debugging MA_PLAY.java, that is included in DK release.
Basically I've now taken the TesterMain.java-template and included a time range through setDataInterval, set the CacheDirectory and called our own strategy code in startStretegy and the debugging is working like a charm.

Brian, there was a bug in the JVM prior to (and including?) 1.6.0_16, that has been leading to skipping break points due to internally returning wrong thread ids.
If you haven't done so, I suggest you update to the latest build (1.6.0_20) and try again.

And yes, I can submit trades and they get filled. So up to now everything is working for me.

Best regrads, RR.
