Types of Breakpoints

On this page:

Introduction

MPS lets you create breakpoints of several types. Each breakpoint type supported by MPS addresses different debugging needs and has its own individual settings.

These breakpoints are assigned to lines of source code and are used to target a particular section for debugging.

Temporary Line breakpoint

These breakpoints are assigned to lines of source code and are used to target a particular section for debugging. When hit, such breakpoints are immediately removed.

Exception breakpoint

MPS provides exception breakpoints for and JavaScript.

Exception breakpoints are triggered when the specified exception is thrown. Unlike the line breakpoints, which require specific source references, exception breakpoints apply globally to the exception condition, rather than to a particular code reference.
