Reloading skill file from telskill window does not work, any suggestions

I don't know if anyone ever has experienced this. I'm making a skill program which is loaded at PCB Editor startup where I can run it fine. I make a change to the skill program and use load "test.il" in the skill development window to load the skill program again. It says that the function has been redefined. If I run the program, nothing happens.

I've checked the getSkillPath() to see if there was more than one skill file with the same name, but thats not the case. Also, if I close down PCB Editor and restart, then it works fine again.

All my variables are embraced in a let argument.

Any suggestions?

Best regards

Run skill lint on your code; check the initialization method of any global variables.Check how you define defstructs (if applicable)
Also avoid in-line skill code (code that is executedat load time). Ideally you should only have axlCmdRegister is this area.
Use the Skill debugger to break at the start of your function and step through the code. You can also try sprinkling printfs in your code.

Hi
Thanks for your suggestions. Turned out that the error was rather close to the keyboard. I must by accident have placed a copy of the skill file in my design directory - and this was hence the one loaded from skill development window. :-)

Best regards

Try searching the forum. There are several threads discussing this. You can start with this one.
Any material available for Learning the Skill coding?
