Re: Debugging libraries
Thanks for the reply Mark, I did that (after declaring the global first) but breakpoints did not break! But then I discovered that the error was that I was calling a function as a command. To my recollection the sqlYoga sqlquery_retrieveAsData was a command like the array and record variants, but apparently not. It's a function so the code never got around to executing. DOH!

Re: deleting folders on server with revDeleteFolder
Yeah, what Alex said, those are posix (Unix) placeholders that point to folders (. self, and .. parent directory), they aren’t actual real folders.

Debugging libraries
Hi all. There is a global variable, I thought it was gRevDevelopment, where you set it to true if you need to debug a script which begins with "lib". I cannot think what that global is!
