I get an exception error saying "Unable to pause script, must run in debugging mode to pause"

Hi Alex, 

SpaceClaim script editor has 2 modes(Run, Debug) for executing the script. 

While using InputHelper command the script should be executed in Debug mode. 
This allows the scipt to pause and take user input.

Thanks and Regards

Hi Atharv, If you mean the editor for Python, then I know this information. 

But I need to call "InputHelper.PauseAndGetInput" from c#. Inside the "InputHelper.PauseAndGetInput" checks that the "ScriptHelper.OnScriptingThread" field is true, otherwise an exception is thrown. How to call "InputHelper.PauseAndGetInput" so that "ScriptHelper.OnScriptingThread" is true?

Let me check for C# calls that run the script in debug mode.

Hi Alex, 

You can try executing the script as RunScriptAsync, instead of RunScript. 

This may help with pasuing the script. Let me know if it works.
