Run from Step or Line Number about sikulix1 HOT 6 CLOSED

This is a request since years ;-)

It is principally possible, yes, but has its caveats.

Until version 1.1.3 I always told people, they might use the interactive mode from command line. But this of course has its limitations.
... and is no longer available with 1.1.4 due to implementation issues.

So I have the "pressure" to offer some solution and I will do that:
Right-click on the line number will offer:

• run this line
• run to this line from top
• run from this line to end
• run selection (if nothing is selected: run current line)

Additionally in the Run menu, there is an entry Run selection, that runs the current selection or the current line, if nothing is selected.

Jython: If the first line of a multiline-selection is indented, a if True: at indent 0 is prepended.

You must really know what you are doing:

• the auto-save feature is not used
• the one interpreter session remembers the history until this point (especially variable/object states), but you might use the reset option in the tab menu, which resets the interpreter to a state comparable to after the IDE is started

I have added the features (2018-10-09 build #106) as mentioned in the comment before for now only for Jython scripting.
Some tests would be appreciated.

I'll look into testing, I've only ran things from the UI or command line.

Not sure how to begin with testing jython.

Your previous reply has lots of information, but I wasn't sure if you were providing reasons it can go wrong or?

You say there is an entry in the run menu called run selection

Might have been misunderstanding:

The features are implemented in the SikuliX IDE (but there currently not for Ruby scripting nor JavaScript).

some docs are here

Nice, I finally had some time at work to test this. I like that it retains context (variables, positions, etc). I also like that it hides/minimizes Sikulix to prevent type("foo bar") from going into the window.

Now to try if the other items you've closed I can get past :)

Thank you!
