Debugger stops at incorrect line

rstudio
ide-debugger
#1

I have a peculiar problem: the debugger stops at a line that is far off from the place I mark the debugger to stop. I have sourced the .r file multiple times, changed the location of the debugging point (the red dot) many times but as soon as I source the file it stops at one line which is far off from the line I marked...it is this one (the code may not make sense as itis out of context) but I can't possibly paste all the lines of code.

rows_to_ignore <- ifelse(dt_ignore$col+1==dt_ignore$i.col,dt_ignore$row,NULL)

#2

Could you paste a few lines of code around it, just enough so someone else can replicate? Thanks.
Also, what versions of R and RStudio are you using? (again, for replication purposes)

#3

I am trying to replicate the problem by changing the location of debugging point. I encounter this new error when I change the debug point to a few lines up or down. But this goes away after I remove the debug point and again add it.

Error in fBody[[i]] : subscript out of bounds

Mara - I can copy a few lines of code but you won't be able to run it as obviously the first error you may get will be: object 'varname' not found

I can load a screencast video if that helps.

#4

I second a minimal reproducible example as well, but failing that a link to a screencast could help.

The error message you cite has a pretty straightforward meaning though. In the list fBody there simply isn't an ith value. If fBody is a data.frame, then there isn't an ith column.

Here's the screencast that demonstrates the problem.


The RStudio.Version is 1.0.143

It seems that the video is unavailable.

My apologies.. set the permission to unlisted now. Please try again.

I have upgraded RStudio and hopefully this problem will not recur. If it recurs we will open the same track. Now I am closing this.

#9

Even after RStudio upgrade, the problem resurfaced.

Although in the current manifestation it is slightly clear what is happening...and I guess someone may be able to suggest an immediate solution.

There is a red circle at the point - not a solid red dot, which it should become after sourcing the code. That looks to be the root cause of the invisible debug point.

I attach another screencast capture - now on the new version of RStudio.

This is RStudio version 1.1.447
