View Recordings from Recording Breakpoint in "Record & Analyze" (Enterprise Architect)

I am debugging my java application and added a "Start Recording Marker" {1} and an "End Recording Marker" {2} (in source code right click -> Breakpoint -> Add ... Marker).

I also had to add a normal Breakpoint {3} because if I don't, the application gets stuck somewhere in the start up. (StartingFrame is displayed, so a part of the code got executed, but not all of it.)

When I then press the play button {4} in the "Record & Analyze" Window and select the correct Recording Set, I see in the Debug console that the recording is started and later ended {5}. The debugged application itself starts successfully.

However, in the "Record & Analyze" Window it still says "There are no items to show in this view." {6}

How can I get the recorded method calls to be displayed there?

In the end, I want to generate a Sequence Diagram from those recordings. (like here)

Solution

  • Asked the Sparx Support:

    The debugger is failing to resolve UNC paths for source files. So, the only workaround is to build it locally, or set up a symbolic link on the laptop to the UNC path and use that.

    My source files are at: //chca6021.eur.beluni.net/a469627$/Documents/workspace/HelloWorld

    Moving the project to a local directory (under C:/) solved the problem.
