Setting command line parameters while debugging?

[NancyM]

I'm developing a script that will require a few parameters, but I need to run with the debugger. Is there a way to set those parameters so they'll be available for the debug session?

When you pass a parameter all you are doing is creating a variable within the executing script. Therefore make a variable with the parameter name to use during debug.

Let>ParameterOne=A Fake Passed Value
//The rest of the script.

Just be sure you delete before actually using the script.

You could create a file and use iffileexists>
Include>
And using that include script that could contain your preset variables so when the file doesn't exist it won't use them.

Or just set them at the start of the script and comment them out when Finished.

Either just temporariliy hard code the variables into the script for debug purposes or do something like this:

Code: Select all

Assigned>PassedParameter,haveParameter
If>haveParameter=FALSE
  Let>PassedParameter=debug value
Endif

The benefit of this is that if you don't need to remember to remove anything when you "go live". The above will initialise the parameter if none was passed and will do nothing if one was provided.
