Show Execution Point Alt+F10Alt F10 |
Click this button to have the current execution point highlighted in the editor and have the corresponding stack frame shown in the Frames pane. |
|
Step Over F8F8 |
Click this button to have execution run until the next line in the current method or file, skipping the methods referenced at the current execution point (if any). If the current line is the last one in the method, execution steps to the line executed right after this method. |
|
Step Into F7F7 |
Click this button to have the debugger step into the method called at the current execution point. |
|
Force Step Into Alt+Shift+F7Alt Shift F7 |
Click this button to have the debugger step into the method called in the current execution point even if this method is to be skipped. |
|
Step Out Shift+F8Shift F8 |
Click this button to have the debugger step out of the current method, to the line executed right after it. |
|
Drop frame | Interrupts execution and returns to the initial point of method execution. In the process, it drops the current method frames from the stack. |
|
Run to Cursor Alt+F9Alt F9 |
Click this button to resume the program execution and pause until the execution point reaches the line
at the current cursor location in the editor. No breakpoint is required.
Actually there is a temporary breakpoint set for the current line at the caret, which is removed once your
program execution is paused. Thus, if the caret is positioned at the line which has already been executed,
the program will be just resumed for further execution, because there is no way to roll back to the
previous breakpoints.
This action is especially useful when you have stepped deep into the methods sequence and need to
step out of several methods at once.
Note If there are breakpoints set for the lines that should be executed before bringing you to the specified line, the debugger will pause at the first encountered breakpoint. Tip Use this action when you need a kind of a temporary breakpoint at a specific line, where the program execution should not be interrupted. |
