I’m trying to run a shell script from a breakpoint in Xcode 4.5 DP 3. I set the breakpoint as such using the Choose button.

Shell script command

However, upon hitting the breakpoint I get the following message:

Error in shell command for breakpoint "(selector name)". The command "/Users/Max/Developer/saveToLog.sh" does not exist.

I’ve tried to put regular shell commands, like “say test” but Xcode prints the same message (with a different command name, of course). The shell script works fine when I run it from terminal.

    Ok, first check to make sure you have the shell permissions set correctly. In terminal type:

    chmod u+x saveToLog.sh

    And I would also locate the shell script inside the project folder (didn’t seem to work correctly for me when the script was located on my desktop).

    This is the script I tested on:

    #!/bin/bash 
touch ~/Desktop/ItWorks.txt 
echo "This actually works!" > ~/Desktop/ItWorks.txt
