Delphi – How to re-enable a debugger exception notification

configurationdebuggingdelphiexceptionsettings

I opened a project (created in D2007/08) in D2009 and it would compile but throw tons of exceptions when executed. Strange thing, but I know the project's a mess, so I want to go ahead and fix it. Well, not really fix all of it, just make it work would be enough.

When I ran it, I got some Debugger Exception Notification (the little message dialogue with Break, Continue, Help buttons) and I wanted to proceed and see if would perhaps work when skip over the exception. I checked the little "Ignore this exception type" check box in the bottom left corner and clicked Continue. Now I no longer get the Exception Notification, but the application still doesn't run. I just get a couple of vague error boxes and have very little idea what's going on.

I would like to re-enable the exception type I previously selected to be ignored. But I can't find the option anywhere. Where should I look for this? Can anyone help?

Best Answer

I have found the ignored exception types in

(Main menu) Tools >> Options >> Debugger Options >> CodeGear Debuggers >> Language Exceptions >> and there is the list of exception types ignored.

It's somewhat more hidden than in D2005 but very close to what was said in the article referenced by Stuart Dunkeld.

Python – How to import a module given the full path

For Python 3.5+ use:

import importlib.util
spec = importlib.util.spec_from_file_location("module.name", "/path/to/file.py")
foo = importlib.util.module_from_spec(spec)
spec.loader.exec_module(foo)
foo.MyClass()

For Python 3.3 and 3.4 use:

from importlib.machinery import SourceFileLoader

foo = SourceFileLoader("module.name", "/path/to/file.py").load_module()
foo.MyClass()

(Although this has been deprecated in Python 3.4.)

For Python 2 use:

import imp

foo = imp.load_source('module.name', '/path/to/file.py')
foo.MyClass()

There are equivalent convenience functions for compiled Python files and DLLs.

Visual-studio – Visual Studio: How to break on handled exceptions

With a solution open, go to the Debug - Exceptions (Ctrl+D,E) menu option. From there you can choose to break on Thrown or User-unhandled exceptions.

EDIT: My instance is set up with the C# "profile" perhaps it isn't there for other profiles?
