App freezes when network unplugged

Instead of, but similar to, the printon setting, I use this and it works ok for me…

In my startup code…

m.Timer=CreateObject("roTimeSpan")
m.Timer.Mark()
m.Development = CreateObject("roAppInfo").IsDev()

And a routine in my global routines

Sub Trace(Value as string)
    if m.Development=true print (stri(m.Timer.TotalMilliseconds())+": "+Value)
End Sub

Then I can call it anytime and it prints if in dev, the drawback is if I do a complex function to generate the value, it still runs in production, but the one area I do that I surrounded with the same m.Development check.

Well done, good sir!
I think i’ll ugh, borrow that for my code. There is actually already a timer somewhere - a bit obscure but i found it - in ifAppManager.


'main() init section. keep singletons handy
m.roAppManager = createObject("roAppManager")
m.roAppInfo = createObject("roAppInfo")
m.isSideLoaded = roAppInfo.isDev()
...

function trace(this, that = ""):
    if m.isSideLoaded then 
        print m.roAppManager.getUptime(); ": "; this; that
    end if
end function

An advantage of using semicolon separator instead of string concat is that this can now be any type (e.g. array, dictionary) and let print handle the printing
