Question

I want to select a large consecutive body of code in the Chrome console and add breakpoints to all lines en mass without adding them one-by-one. I want to know if this is possible and if so how.

Answer 1

F10 lets you step through your code one step at a time if you’re already hit a breakpoint!

There are four ways to end up at a breakpoint:

• Set one in your code (at the top of the sequence you want to debug, then you can Step Over)
• Press the “Pause” button in the Chrome developer tools
• Put the statement debugger; on the line you want to break on in your source code (often convenient!)
• Turn on “Pause on exceptions” (fourth button on the bottom, looks like a pause button in a circle) which toggles between “don’t pause”, “pause on all exceptions”, and “pause on unhandled exceptions”.

Enjoy!
