Question

I am not sure what’s going on here.

1. I set up a breakpoint.
2. I start code in debug mode.
3. Debugger jumps to the breakpoint
4. I step over
5. Debugger goes somewhere but the next line …

Is this a known issue? Am i not using the tool correctly?

Here is an example:

Debugger starts, we stop at the breakpoint.

Instead of going to the constructor of the class i asked to step into to (expect to get to line 29)

It’s jumping to superclass automatically (!@$!#)

But then … when i step over it skips lines ..

I would like (when i step over) to go to the next line and when i step in to think less and do what it’s told. Is this a configuration issue somewhere in my instance?

Answer 1

To get behavior similar to Eclipse use Run | Smart Step Into, this will skip directly to the constructor ignoring any other executable code that can run before it. Note that step over will not step through lines that do not contain executable code (line #21).

While using keyboard shortcut is much faster, you can still add Smart Step Into action to the toolbar in File | Settings | Menus and Toolbars, Main Toolbar.
