Setting a Breakpoint (Magic xpi 4.9)
Breakpoints are a helpful tool for debugging. They let the user halt execution of the flow or the project at a specific step.
Once a breakpoint is reached, all the executed contexts, such as threads and branches, are stopped before they execute the next component/step.
When the debug process gets to a breakpoint, the Debugger waits for one of the following user commands:
-
Selecting Step to continue to the next step.
-
Clicking Continue to continue the debugging process to the end of the branch or flow, or to the next breakpoint.
To set a breakpoint:
-
Right-click on the step where the breakpoint has to be set.
-
Select Breakpoint from the context menu. A red dot (
) appears in the top left corner of the step's icon.
To cancel a breakpoint:
-
Right-click on the step where the breakpoint was previously set.
-
Select Breakpoint again from the context menu. The red dot () disappears from the top left corner of the step's icon.
