[Gambas-user] gb.debug: Unable to open fifo

[T Lee Davidson]

Hello folks,

I am trying to see if gb.debug will help me diagnose why HttpClient does not properly expose redirect response codes on my 
system (and reportedly Tobi's system) while it does so correctly on Benoît's system.

However, the documentation for gb.debug is so sparse that I am having to experiment and, of course, having a problem.

With the following command-line application code (using the gb.debug component):
' Gambas module file

Public Sub Main()

   Dim sName As String

   sName = Debug.Begin()
   Print sName
   Debug.Start ' Unable to open fifo
   Debug.Write("Hello world")
   Debug.Stop
   Debug.End

End

Public Sub Debug_Read(Data As String)

   Print Data

End
' End Gambas module file

Debug.Start causes an exception: "Unable to open fifo". By looking in /tmp/gambas.1000/, I can see that the process id input and 
output pipes are successfully created with the correct file mode permissions (600) for my user as owner. But, the Start 
procedure apparently cannot open the output fifo (ref. 
https://sourceforge.net/p/gambas/code/HEAD/tree/gambas/trunk/main/lib/debug/CDebug.c).

Am I attempting to use this component incorrectly?
