Nodeclipse debugger ignoring breakpoints

Question

I'm using Nodeclipse 0.10 with nodemon, but when I try to debug my script it doesn't stop at any of my breakpoints. I've already seen this and this answer but it hasn't helped.

Occasionally, it will stop on the first line of nodemon, other times it gives me a timeout error from the V8 VM, and sometimes it doesn't do anything at all.

Here's what I've tried so far:

1. I tried both the "Node application" and the "Node with monitor", neither one works.
2. Removed nodemon from the preferences page, but then Eclipse just complains it's missing the nodemon path and won't start my script (even if I select "Node application")
3. Ran node --debug-brk=5858 from the command line and then tried to attach the Eclipse debugger to it
4. Tried launching the debug from the toolbar button (my personal default) as well as from context menu after right clicking the script file - that just makes it stop on the module.exports line of the script
5. Ran eclipse --clean

None of it works. As a side note, I did not install Nodeclipse into a new Eclipse environment when I installed it, because it took me a long time to configure my existing one to where I liked it, and I'd rather be able to keep that.

Anyone dealt with this issue before?

Answer 1

Ok, this was embarassingly stupid...somehow, "Skip all breakpoints" had become activated in the Run menu in Eclipse. It's working now.

Thanks everyone for the help though. :)
