Conversation
- Route goto called off the run thread through execute_while_paused in Ruby and Python, since the debug prompt runs on the thread that processes go/step/stop - Add RunningScript.run_thread? to detect the run thread in Ruby - Add Ruby specs and a Python test covering both threads Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

- Around line 278-290: Preserve the paused script binding when debug-prompt
`goto` queues a cross-file target. Update the `execute_while_paused` call in the
off-thread branch to pass `bind_variables: true`, and update
`execute_while_paused` plus its queued request handling to honor an explicit
binding value while retaining the existing same-file and cross-file defaults
when none is supplied.
Review comments at @openc3/python/openc3/utilities/running_script.py:
- Around line 1484-1499: Update the queued goto path in execute_while_paused to
pass bind_variables=True to start, preserving active local-variable bindings for
cross-file goto calls. Leave execute-selection behavior unchanged.

CodeRabbit finding on local variable binding looks reasonable to address to me. Otherwise looks good!
A goto typed at the debug prompt is queued for the run thread, which only bound the paused script's variables when the target was the same file. Pass an explicit binding so it matches a direct goto call. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
| # go/step/stop messages. Running the script there deadlocks at the next pause, | ||
| # so hand it to the run thread the same way the editor's goto does. | ||

| RunningScript.instance.execute_while_paused(procedure_name, line_no, bind_variables=True) |

- Around line 470-488: Update the `keeps the script binding when the queued goto
targets another file` test to use a stub value distinct from `Thread.current`
for `@@run_thread`, rather than creating an empty-block thread that is never
joined.

Problem
Typing
goto <line>at the Script Runner debug prompt while paused hangs the script for good. After that it ignores go, step, pause and stop, and the only way out is to kill therun_scriptprocess.The
debugmessage is handled inline in the Redis subscribe callback inrun_script.rb/run_script.py, sogotoruns the script on the subscriber thread. When that copy of the script reaches a pause point (a breakpoint, step mode orpause),wait_for_go_or_stopwaits for@go/@stop. Only the subscriber thread sets those, and it is the thread that is waiting, so it deadlocks.Fix
When
gotois called from any thread other than the script's run thread, it now hands the request toexecute_while_paused, the same path the editor's goto uses. The paused run thread then runs it fromcheck_execute_while_paused. Agotoinside the script itself still runs directly.gotoinopenc3/lib/openc3/utilities/running_script.rb, plus a newRunningScript.run_thread?helpergotoinopenc3/python/openc3/utilities/running_script.pyIf the script isn't paused, at a breakpoint or in an error state, the debug-prompt
gotoprints the existing "Cannot execute selection or goto unless script is paused…" message instead of hanging.Tests
openc3-cosmos-script-runner-api/spec/models/running_script_spec.rb, one case callinggotofrom another thread (hands off) and one from the run thread (callsstart). Both covergoto(line)andgoto(file, line).openc3/python/test/utilities/test_running_script.pywith the same two cases. Importingrunning_script.pyreplaces functions inopenc3.scriptfor the whole process, so the test imports it inside the class and restores those modules afterward.Not covered
Other script-running calls typed at the debug prompt, such as
start(...)orload_utility(...), can still hang the same way if they reach a breakpoint. They aren't changed here.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
