Forum ‹ Multiplayer ‹ Debug.Assert not allowed

Hi, I found out that Debug operations are not allowed in a game server. This is fine since I will only deploy the Release version of the game server where the Debug operations will be compiled out. But is it possible to allow these operations when running under the Development Server? It would seriously help me avoid a lot of debugging time and I hate to put Console.WriteLine 's all over the place and then have to use ugly #if DEBUG constructs to compile them out of the Release version. The following is my current workaround this issue. It works but I still prefer if the message appears in the Debug window while I'm running the game thru debugging.

Code: Select all

internal class MyDebug {
   [Conditional("DEBUG")]
   public static void Assert(bool flag, string text) {
      if (!flag) Console.WriteLine(new Exception(text));
   }
}

Hey,

We haven't been using the Debug class (the one in System.Diagnostics, right?) for anything, which is why it's been left out of the whitelist.

I'll get a guy to look into adding it to the whitelist if there are no dangers associated with doing so.

Thanks for noticing and telling

All the best,
Oliver

What? u guys never used Debug?! Shocking!!
I would agree if you don't allow it when running live since there is no reason to run the debug version live UNLESS you can perform remote debugging but I think is an important debugging assistance on the development server. Hope it can be passed soon. So far I did not see any other essential classes were forbidden but if there is, I should find it soon enough
