Why does NSAssert break in main instead of in the code that call the assertion

I set this NSAssert

NSAssert(isStillLoadingArgument== [[self class] stillLoading],@"Hmm.... we think isStill Loading is false or true and yet stillLoading is true");;

Here is the screenshot of where I ask this question: enter image description here

Then when assertion fail, the code break here:

Which is very annoying because I want to see the assertion break on the code I set up the assertion instead. So, how do I do so.

Solution

  • You need to add a Breakpoint to your project for all exceptions.

    1) Click on breakpoint navigator

    Breakpoint

    2) Add an exception breakpoint

    Exception

    3) Make sure you set it to break on all exceptions

    All

    Now XCode will break to the actual assert rather than main. Hope this helps!
