Debugger.continueToLocation

Continues execution until specific location is reached.

parameters

Evaluates expression on a given call frame.

parameters
callFrameId

Debugger.restartFrame

Restarts particular call frame from the beginning.

parameters
callFrameId
CallFrameId

Call frame identifier to evaluate on.

Return Object
callFrames
array[ CallFrame ]

New stack trace.

asyncStackTrace
Runtime.StackTrace

Async stack trace, if any.

Debugger.resume

Resumes JavaScript execution.

Debugger.setAsyncCallStackDepth

Enables or disables async call stacks tracking.

Debugger.setBreakpoint

Sets JavaScript breakpoint at a given location.

BreakpointId

Id of the created breakpoint for further reference.

actualLocation
Location

Debugger.setBreakpointByUrl

Sets JavaScript breakpoint at given location specified either by URL or URL regex. Once this command is issued, all existing parsed scripts will have breakpoints resolved and returned in <code>locations</code> property. Further matching script parsing will result in subsequent <code>breakpointResolved</code> events issued. This logical breakpoint will survive page reloads.

parameters

condition
string

Expression to use as a breakpoint condition. When specified, debugger will only stop on the breakpoint if this expression evaluates to true.

Return Object
breakpointId
BreakpointId

Id of the created breakpoint for further reference.

locations
array[ Location ]

List of the locations this breakpoint resolved into upon addition.

Debugger.setBreakpointsActive

Activates / deactivates all breakpoints on the page.

parameters
active
boolean

New value for breakpoints active state.

Debugger.setPauseOnExceptions

Defines pause on exceptions state. Can be set to stop on all exceptions, uncaught exceptions or no exceptions. Initial pause on exceptions state is <code>none</code>.

array[ CallFrame ]

New stack trace in case editing has happened while VM was stopped.

stackChanged
boolean

Whether current call stack was modified after applying the changes.
