Runtime errors in CSIDE

Is there a way to get CSIDE to behave like Builder when a runtime error occurs? In Builder a runtime error opens in the debugger and provides context to the error. In CSIDE I just get a modal dialog with a line number and no other indication to where the error occurred (see screenshot). Thanks.

Actually, I got the debug perspective open (after confirming the prompt about the perspetive switch) and the debugger stopped on the line, when a runtime error occurred. In my case it was accessing a non-existent object feature.

Can it be, that not every runtime error is handled like this? Can it be, that it happens only in your sources (from the OScript Explorer) and not in any CS module (from the Module Explorer)?

Hi Christopher,

You can check the "Problems" and "Error Log" tabs for more details. Do you get any information there when this happens?

I found I have to manually open the debug perspective for the error to show. I should have known this since the same thing often happens with PyDev. Thanks for the reply.
