DevTools Tips: Breakpoints and logpoints

Breakpoints let you pause your code in the middle of its execution, on an optional condition, and examine all values at that moment in time. Logpoints let you log messages to the Console without pausing the execution. Breakpoints and logpoints are an efficient alternative to debugger; statements and console.log() calls in your code.

Watch the video to learn how to use breakpoints and logpoints to debug your code:

• Set a breakpoint with a click.
• View the Call Stack, inspect variables, and edit their values in Scope and the Console.
• Right-click > Ignore third-party scripts.
• Disable pausing on debugger; statements.
• Add a condition to pause on.
• Log values to the Console without pausing.
• Set the Debugger to pause on caught or uncaught exceptions.
