Hi Ahmad,

I am not a new with debugger. I use debugger with cTrader 4.1 and VS2019. 

But there is some problem with cTrader 4.2 and VS2022. Symbols are not loading.

PS. I tried to start debugging in 2 ways : 

(1) from VS2022 break point -> compile -> debug

(2) with System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Launch()  method from cBot. 

It doesn't work for both ways.

Hi,

In version 4.2 debugging changed, as each cBot/Indicator instance runs on their own separate process.

The link I posted is the guide for debugging on new cTrader 4.2 version with Visual Studio 2022.

If you are seeing the symbol not loading page, just ignore it, switch to your indicator/cBot source code tab and you will be able to continue the execution and it will hit your breakpoints.

RE:

Thanks mate, I have been developing and debugging ctrader for 3 years now, with no problems, but these latest versions just won't debug and they have the problem that you can not switch bot instances without getting a frozen screen.

(1) from VS2022 break point -> compile -> debug

(2) with System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Launch()  in the onStart method from cBot. 

Click the start button on debugger does not start.

Also attach to ctrader process from a .net 6 or .net 4.8 bot and VS2017 (for my old 4.8 bots( and VS2022 for new .net 6 bots) says that no symbols have been loaded, after the start button is clicked or starting backtesting and the data has been loaded.

I did all of the steps as outlined below.

Hi acrigney,

Did you set your cBot's access rights to FullAccess?
