The logging system can assist with debugging and creating
a demo.
When GDC is started in
debug
mode, the logging system is available. This system will help
you to:
- debug your applications
- create a demo
What is logged? The complete communication between the front end
and Runtime System,
so the Runtime System is not needed when you replay your demo.
Important: As only the communication is recorded, the
"local-only" actions such as moving columns are not saved and replayed.
Only the sent value of a field is saved; all user interactions (copy
/ paste, cursor, and so on) are not saved.
Recording Demo
To record a demo,
first select a log file to store the scenario. Then, click on the
record button to start recording.
Important: Only applications
you launched AFTER starting recording are stored.
Replay Demo
To replay a demo,
first select the log file where the scenario is stored. Then, click
on the play button to start playing the demo. You can pause the replay
by clicking on the pause button. The progress bar will indicate the
progress of the demo.
Important: No user interaction
is possible when replaying a demo, so you may have to stop recording
the demo before the end of the application. Then, if you want to kill
this application, you must use the
Connections
panel.
