(GitHub | Issue Tracker)

Features

The extension:

  • supports multiple breakpoint files,
  • provides the ability to define custom serialization schemes via string substition,
  • automaticaly updates files on breakpoint changes.

Extension Settings

This extension contributes a single setting - breakpointFileSync.files, which is an array of objects with the following attributes:

  • matchingPath: A regular expression that matches the paths of source files that should be included in the file. (string)
  • name: The name of the file. If not absolute, will be relative to the workspace folder. (string)
  • kind: Describes the type of serialization to use. ("json" or "custom")

If kind is set to "custom", the following attributes are also available:

  • filePrefix: A string to prepend before any breakpoint entries to the generated file. (string, optional)
  • format: The format of the breakpoint entries. If an array, all of its entries will be joined with a new-line character. Available variables: $path, $absPath, $filename, $line, $condition, $hitCount. (string[] or string)
  • fileSuffix: A string to append after all breakpoint entries to the generated file. (string, optional)
  • endWithNewLine: If true, all breakpoint entries will end with a new-line character (\n). (boolean, optional, defaults to true)
  • skipDisabled: If true, disabled breakpoints will not be included. (boolean, optional, defaults to true)
  • undefinedPlaceholder: If a given variable is not available (e.g. not provided), but is referenced in the 'format' field, this value will be used as a placeholder. (string, optional, defaults to "")

Example

{
    "breakpointFileSync.files": [
        {
            "kind": "json",
            "matchingPath": ".*\\/?.*\\.cs",
            "name": "csharpbreakpoints.json"
        },
        {
            "kind": "custom",
            "matchingPath": ".*\\/?.*\\.ts",
            "name": "tsbreakpoints.yml",
            "filePrefix": "breakpoints:\n",
            "undefinedPlaceholder": "null",
            "format": [
                "  - path: $absPath",
                "    line: $line",
                "    condition: $condition"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

csharpbreakpoints.json

[{"path":"breakpointable.cs","absPath":"c:\\Users\\asc\\Desktop\\myproj\\breakpointable.cs","filename":"breakpointable.cs","line":10},{"path":"breakpointable.cs","absPath":"c:\\Users\\asc\\Desktop\\myproj\\breakpointable.cs","filename":"breakpointable.cs","line":14}]

tsbreakpoints.yml

breakpoints:
  - path: c:\Users\asc\Desktop\myproj\breakpointable.ts
    line: 12
    condition: null
  - path: c:\Users\asc\Desktop\myproj\breakpointable.ts
    line: 13
    condition: null

Do note that line numbers are zero-based. What you see in VS Code as line 1 will be serialized as line 0.
