195172 - Add ability to save and restore breakpoints and watches

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Other Applications Graveyard :: Venkman JS Debugger, defect)

Description

[Robert Ginda]

smontagu requested the ability to save and restore breakpoint and watch
settings.  This patch adds the following functionality...

save-settings: saves breakpoint and watch settings to a .js file, which can be
executed by the debugger to restore the settings.

restore-settings: mostly just an alias for /loadd, which can be used to execute
a settings file.  In addition to what /loadd normally provides, this command
will pop up a file chooser if no filename is given.

save-watches: saves only the watche settings to a .js file.

save-breakpoints: saves only the breakpoints settings to a .js file.

I'll add an option to always remember these settings between debugger
invocations, before checking in.

The patch is available as venkman 0.9.49, from
http://www.hacksrus.com/~ginda/venkman/.

Attachment: oops, forgot MODE_TRUNCATE

same patch, except with MODE_TRUNCATE to truncate the settings files before
writing.  I updated 0.9.49 in place (no new version number.)

Here is the latest stuff.  Feel free to review and comment.  I added a few
other features in this patch, see

details.

This is available as 0.9.50 on hacksrus.  I'll probably check it in later
today.
