Debugging Xtext [message #904337]

Hi,

as I'm starting to move from Xtext 2.2 to 2.3.1, I need to dive deep into some code.
This is something I want to do with debugging, so I need to set a breakpoint in the generated java class as normal. This was working with the previous versions.
Now he just stops in the Xtend files, but I must debug the java ones!
I could not find an option to change that. is there any possibility?

(and please don't start to discuss what is better, I need the java class debugging! For me it is a dangerous blocker for my project and brings me in huge trouble!)

thanks a lot,
~ingo

Hi,

you can choose whether the xtend or the java code is shown. There is an enty in the stack trace element context menu. Have a close look at

Ok, I found another problem related to debugging: Conditional Breakpoints

I understand that this is not possible/difficult in Xtend. But in the generated Java code I must be able to use them (I dunno how one can survive without them Wink

)
But when debugging the debugger is not stopping on them. Sometimes the debugger is stopping on normal java brekapoints, but not always.
I don't know if this is a bug or if it should work or not???
Also after each regenration all Java breakpoints are lost. This is different to the 2.2-and-earlier world where all those things worked perfekt.

Thanks for your help,
~Ingo
