Debugging hints
Since TortoiseSVN is a shell extension it's not
as easy to debug as normal applications. The
TortoiseShell part is only a dll which is
loaded by the windows explorer. So the first
thing you need to do is:
因为TortoiseSVN是一个SHELL扩展，所以不能像普通程序一样调试， TortoiseShell 只是一个windows explorer 加载的一个动态连接库。 所以要做的就是
- register the TortoiseShell dll so that
the windows explorer loads it. There are
three files in the folder src\TortoiseShell
with extension *.registry. Make a copy of
those files and change the extension to
*.reg. Then you have to edit those three
files so that the paths in it reflects
your source paths exactly.
Now if you doubleclick on register.reg
the debug version of the TortoiseSVN.dll
gets registered. registerrelease.reg
registers the release version of the
TortoiseSVN.dll. Don't do it right now!
Or just have TortoiseSVN installed and
registered properly.
- 注册TortoiseShell以便windows explorer 可以加载它 , 在src\TortoiseShell 文件夹有三个.registry 扩展名的文件，将文件扩展名改为.reg 修改文件中的路径和本地匹配。 双击register.reg debug版本的 TortoiseSVN.dll 就注册上了。
- Create the registry DWORD entry
HKLM\Software\TortoiseSVN\DebugShell
and set it to 1. This then forces the
TortoiseStub dll to load the extension
dlls from the same directory the test
application starts. This means that if
you then start e.g. TortoiseProc from
directory 'debug' and TortoiseSVN.dll
is also in the directory 'debug', that
dll is loaded instead of the 'real'
registered dll.
这一步使svn 加载程序所在路径的dll 文件， 而不是安装目录的dll 文件
- Start VS.NET and load the TortoiseSVN
solution file. Set the TortoiseProc
project as "startup project".
In the properties page of the project,
add the following command line:
/command:createpatch /path:"path/to/wc"
(substitute "path/to/wc" with a path
to an existing working copy).
- Hit F5 in the VS.NET IDE (or start
debugging via menu).
- Now you can set breakpoints and debug
as you like.
- Click "Ok" in the create patch dialog, that
will then open a "file save" dialog and
this is where the shell extension dll
is now loaded and can be debugged.
- After debugging, set the registry DWORD
value back to 0 or remove it completely.
To debug the TortoiseProc part of TortoiseSVN
proceed as with any normal application.
To debug the TSVNCache exit the TSVNCache.exe
process and proceed as with any normal
application. Exiting TSVNCache.exe is necessary
because only one instance of TSVNCache may run
at a time. To exit the TSVNCache process set
HKCU\Software\TortoiseSVN\CacheTrayIcon to 1 and
call "Exit" in the context menu of the tray icon.
