2023-11-21 10:11:20 -0500 marked best answer Debugging tkinter applications

Hi, I'm using Wing Pro 9.1.2.0. When my tkinter application raises an exception, the debug information shows up in the Debug I/O tab, but not the Exceptions tab.

For example:

  File "/usr/lib/python3.11/tkinter/__init__.py", line 1702, in configure
    return self._configure('configure', cnf, kw)
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/usr/lib/python3.11/tkinter/__init__.py", line 1692, in _configure
    self.tk.call(_flatten((self._w, cmd)) + self._options(cnf))
_tkinter.TclError: unknown color name

Is there a way to have the exception above show in the Exceptions tab, so that I can click on it and have it take me to the line with the issue? The Debug I/O tab is shown in plain text, so clicking on the exception won't take me to the line in the editor.

I tried adding TclError to the Exceptions configuration, under 'Always Report', but that didn't make a difference for me. Any ideas? Thanks.

I'm using Wing Pro 9.1.1.4 in Ubuntu 22.04.

My project uses pygame-ce (ce is community edition) with Python 3.10.12

When I put a breakpoint to debug my pygame project, Wing IDE freezes and then I must use htop to terminate the process and then restart Wing.

Wing will also freeze sometimes when my code raises an exception. I haven't had this issue with other libraries such as tkinter; I think this issue is specific to pygame. Any ideas?

2022-03-21 21:38:38 -0500 marked best answer Source Browser - Follow Spot in Editor

Hello, Is there an option to make the Source Browser follow the spot I'm currently at inside the editor? I know there's a 'Follow Selection' option, but that works the other way around - it takes the cursor in the editor to the method or class that I click in the source browser.

I'm looking for an option to have the Source Browser select the spot my cursor is currently at in the editor (ie: Follow Selection in Editor). Is there an option that does that? I'm using Wing 7.2.9.1 (does Wing 8 have this option?).

For example: in the screenshot below, I would like the Source Browser to select the method 'greet', because that's where my cursor currently is in the editor. However, the Source Browser has 'TestMain' highlighted instead.

Thanks.

2021-05-03 10:22:03 -0500 marked best answer Ability to navigate through cursor position history (Back/Forward arrow buttons)

I was wondering whether Wingware has considered adding a cursor history-navigate option when clicking the Back/Forward buttons (the left-right arrows at the top of the code editor).

For example: in a Python module, if I am on line number 1,800 and then I remember that I'm missing an import at the top of the file, I'll scroll up to the top of the file, add my import. Then I want to be able to click the back button so WingIDE will take me back to the last cursor position, which was on line 1800. Currently, WingIDE does not take me back to line 1800. I have to remember that I was on line 1800. Instead, if I click Back, it takes me to the last "file", kind of like a web browser.

This missing feature is becoming ever more important to me as my projects grow and I'm navigating hundreds of lines of code in a single module file.

Another example: If I have two files: A.py and B.py: If I'm looking at A.py then I navigate to B.py, then when I press back, I would expect it to go back to A.py. But if I scroll multiple times and change my cursor position in B.py, I would expect the back button in B.py to navigate my cursor history in B.py and in the end, it should take me back to A.py if it has gone to the end of the cursor's history in B.py.

The 'Forward' button should be similar, but for going forward.

PyCharm has cursor back/forth history navigation, and so does Visual Studio, but I would rather use Wing because of the method drop-down menu at the top of the editor, which is very useful.

Please consider adding this feature to the Back/Forward arrow buttons at the top.

Thank you!
