Step over and skip breakpoints.
Download

Build status License: MIT Version

Step or continue and ignore breakpoints.

Features

This extension adds six new breakpoint-related commands to Visual Studio:

  • Debug: Force Step Over - Step over a function call and ignore any breakpoints that would have been triggered.
  • Debug: Force Step Out - Step out of a function call and ignore any breakpoints that would have been triggered.
  • Debug: Force Step Into - Step into a function call and ignore any breakpoints that would have been triggered.
  • Debug: Force Continue - Continue program execution, ignoring breakpoints until the program exits, or until Debug: Enable Saved Breakpoints is executed:
  • Debug: Disable Saved Breakpoints - Disable all currently active breakpoints.
  • Debug: Enable Saved Breakpoints - Re-enable breakpoints disabled by Debug: Disable Saved Breakpoints or Debug: Force Continue.

The commands are visible under the debug menu while paused on a breakpoint. They can also be found to the right of Visual Studio's normal, blue step controls.

Usage

You can choose new shortcuts for the commands under Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Keyboard. Search for the command names (e.g., Debug.ForceStepOut)

Changelog

v1.2 - Action / log points are now differentiated from breakpoints; they are no longer disabled when force stepping.
