It should be possible to right click on a property and set or remove a watchpoint

  • "Pause on Get"
  • "Pause on Set"

The UI should show a breakpoint to the right of properties with a watchpoint

Hi there!

I am trying to document this, but I've looked all over the debugger in Fx 71 nightly, and can't figure out where to find this functionality. Can someone point me in the right direction, witha screenshot or other explanation? thanks!

Sorry, tagging here has been unfortunate to suggest 71. DevEdition 71 still has the feature disabled (devtools.debugger.features.watchpoints), only 72 DE has it on by default (bug 1592718) and release is pending on QA sign off.

Hopefully it also helps to see the feature in action: https://www.dropbox.com/s/eeymzv3r3xb312c/demo-watchpoints.mp4?dl=0

Harald, thanks for the video, that's helpful.

Chris, I'm moving this item into Fx72, in https://github.com/mdn/sprints/issues/2468
