How to set Break point and Debug in Eclipse

Breakpoint in Eclipse/Selenium


Breakpoint
-> By double click on left side, then we create breakpoints.

Conditional Breakpoint
-> Sometime we need breakpoint, if only some Conditions like Errors and exception. For that we can conditional breakpoint.
-> Right click on crated breakpoint -> Breakpoint Properties

Debug in Eclipse/Selenium




    F5 – Step Into
    F6 – Step Over
    F7 – Step Return
    F8 – Run until next breakpoint is reached

Table 1. Debugging key bindings / shortcuts
Key  Description
F5  Executes the currently selected line and goes to the next line in your program. If the selected line is a method call the debugger steps into the associated code.
F6  F6 steps over the call, i.e. it executes a method without stepping into it in the debugger.
F7  F7 steps out to the caller of the currently executed method. This finishes the execution of the current method and returns to the caller of this method.
F8  F8 tells the Eclipse debugger to resume the execution of the program code until is reaches the next breakpoint or watchpoint.
