Project Not Responding

We have a homegate project that was working well but we made some small changes and the project compiled.

The changes were:
1. added a new function and a new procedure
2. changed one module in 4-6 places to call the new function
3. tested the changes and it worked fine.
4. we ran the logic and it worked well
5. we then made the changes through the rest of the project
6. running the logic now hangs; and we cannot get back to the code as the auto-running of the logic when starting homegate hangs homegate with a 'not responding'. This is interesting as there is nothing happening in the logic as we have disconnected the hardware.


Code sample of what was done:

//new function:
function IsInString(firsthalf, secondhalf: integer; compareTo: String): boolean;
begin
//build a string based on a case statement
// and put the string in to global variable sBulid;
buildString(firsthalf, secondhalf);
IsInString := pos(sBuild, compareTo) > 0;
end;

//function call is equivalent to
//once s = '@MAINWR=On' then
//where s is the string read in the ReadSerial elsewhere in the project

once IsInString(1, 203, readStr) then begin .....


We would like some suggestions on
1. How to get homegate to start without auto running the logic
2. what may be causing the project to hang on starting the project

thanks,
Maurits

 

Hi Maurits Roos,

1. There isn't any way to get homegate to start without running logic.
2. I'm unsure why the project would be hanging on startup. However since you say you changed a bunch of logic and now the project hangs I'd start looking at the logic. If you send the project into tech support and ask them to forward it onto me I'll have a look at the cause.

Matty.
