winIDEA HelpSet a Conditional Breakpoint on the Xth pass
In this tutorial, you will learn:
•how to set an execution breakpoint,
•apply conditions based on pass count and expressions, and
•utilize optional features like displaying message boxes.
winIDEA checks the condition (Pass count and/or Expression) every time a breakpoint is hit. If the condition evaluates to:
•False, the application will immediately run again
•True, the execution will remain stopped at the breakpoint, it will count as one more pass.
