<p>Hi all, hi Eliot, hi Jaromir,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>in the last time, I observed a number of "<span>Error: infinite recursion in doesNotUnderstand:" messages when proceeding from a DNU in the debugger. Would it be possible to disarm this again? I admit that I have not yet followed up the full background on
this change, but ...:</span></p>
<p><span><br>
</span></p>
<p><span>My usual workflow looks like this: Observe a DNU, create a new message in order to *probably* fix the issue, and press Proceed to give it a second try. If my fix was incorrect, observe a second DNU, approach a second fix, and proceed again for a third
try, etc. With the recent changes to #doesNotUnderstand:, I have only got one chance to make the right fix, i.e., implement the missing method on the right class in the first attempt. If I just evaluate "nil foo" and press Proceed two consecutive times, I
get this "infinite recursion" error and my iterative development cycle is broken. :-( Can we fix this?</span></p>
<p><span><br>
</span></p>
<p><span>Long-term note: Sometime after the release(tm) I would like to revise the debugger's buttons to handle exceptions anyway, e.g., we could integrate a "retry" button for DNUs. But until then, I would really appreciate it if we could keep the existing
workflows intact. Anyway, IMHO proceeding from a non-resumable exception should either) retry the operation recursively or) ignore the exception and resume right after it. At the moment, I have the feeling that we have reached neither of these directions for
#doesNotUnderstand:. See also the analogous behavior in Object >> #at:. :-)</span></p>
<p><span><br>
</span></p>
<p><span>Thanks in advance!</span></p>
<p><span><br>
</span></p>
<p><span>Best,</span></p>
<p><span>Christoph</span></p>
