Breakpoint options

Use the toolbar buttons to add or remove breakpoints, and group them by package, file or class.

The options depend on the selected breakpoint type:

Option

Description

Types of breakpoints

Enabled

Select this option to enable breakpoints. If a breakpoint is disabled, GoLand will skip it during the debugging process.

Suspend

Select this checkbox to suspend program when a breakpoint is hit. If the checkbox is not selected, the program is not suspended.

All types

Condition

Select this checkbox and specify a condition for hitting the breakpoint.

A condition is a Boolean expression.

This expression should be valid at the line where the breakpoint is set, and is evaluated every time the breakpoint is reached. If the evaluation result is true, user-selected actions are performed.

If the result is false, the breakpoint does not produce any effect. If the Debugger cannot evaluate the expression, it displays the Condition evaluation error message. You can select whether you would like to stop at this breakpoint or ignore it.

In the Condition field, press Shift+Enter to open the multiline editor.

All types

Log to console

Select if you want to log the following events to console:
  • "Breakpoint hit" message: a log message will be displayed in the console output when this breakpoint is hit.

  • Stacktrace: this breakpoint's stacktrace will be print to console when it's hit. This is useful if you want to check which paths have lead to the given point without stopping the program's execution.

All types

Evaluate and log

Select this checkbox if you wish to evaluate a certain expression at this breakpoint and to export the result to the console output. Press Shift+Enter to open the multiline editor.

Line breakpoints

Remove once hit

Select if you want the breakpoint to be deleted after it was hit.

All types

Disable until breakpoint is hit

From the drop-down list, select the breakpoint in question. The None option corresponds to the always breakpoint.

Besides that, you can also choose the behavior of this breakpoint, when the selected one is hit:

  • Disable again
  • Leave enabled

All types
