Breakpoints View

The Breakpoints view lists all breakpoints that are set on opened documents. If the view is not displayed, it can be opened from the Window > Show View menu.

Once you insert a breakpoint it is automatically added in this list. Breakpoints can be set in XSLT/XQuery documents and XML documents in XSLT/XQuery debugging sessions. A breakpoint can have an associated break condition that represents an XPath expression evaluated in the current debugger context. In order to be processed, their evaluation result should be a boolean value. A breakpoint with an associated condition only stops the execution of the Debugger if the breakpoint condition is evaluated as true.

The Breakpoints view contains the following columns:

Enabled - If checked, the current condition is evaluated and taken into account.
Resource - Resource file and number of the line where the breakpoint is set. The Entire path of resource file is available as tooltip.
Condition - XSLT/XQuery expression to be evaluated during debugging. The expression will be evaluated at every debug step.

Clicking a record highlights the breakpoint line in the document.

Note: The breakpoints list is not deleted at the end of a transformation (it is preserved between debugging sessions).

The following actions are available in the contextual menu of the table:

Go to: Moves the cursor to the source of the breakpoint.
Run to Breakpoint: Runs the debugger up to the point of this particular breakpoint and ignores the others (regardless of whether they were previously enabled or disabled).
Enable: Enables the breakpoint.
Disable: Disables the breakpoint. A disabled breakpoint will not be evaluated by the Debugger.
Add: Allows you to add a new breakpoint and breakpoint condition.
Edit: Allows you to edit an existing breakpoint.
Remove: Deletes the selected breakpoint.
Enable all: Enables all breakpoints.
Disable all: Disables all breakpoints.
Remove all: Removes all breakpoints.
