Breakpoints

Run a workspace and inspect data one feature at a time, pausing between features.

To enable breakpoints, do any of the following:

  • From the Menu Bar, select Test > Stop at Breakpoints.
  • Click the Stop at Breakpoints icon on the Toolbar.
  • Enter Ctrl+Shift+F5.
  • Set the Stop at Breakpoints workspace parameter.

Before you can view features in this mode, set at least one breakpoint in the workspace. The workspace will run until it reaches this breakpoint, and the Breakpoint Inspector window will open.

To set a breakpoint, select a link until it is highlighted. Right-click to display the command menu and click Add Breakpoint (or press the F9 key).

A breakpoint appears in the workspace as a red octagon.

Note  In the example below, the number inside the octagon indicates the feature count display from the previous workspace run. If you have not yet run your workspace, the octagon displays a solid color.
