JavaScript debugger; statement doesn't work even if breakpoints are enabled

Question

I have a weird behavior in my application or browser or both. The debugger statement doesn't seem to work. It doesn't stop at that statement. However, when I put a breakpoint from dev tools, instead of debugger statement, it stops at that breakpoint. Dev tools is open and breakpoints are enabled. I haven't seen anything such this before.

I don't have any idea what causing this but I think that it is because of some sort of configuration in the project. Because my teammates also isn't able to make debugger statement work and we are working on same project.

Where should I check? Or is there any function or method in javascript that can disable debugger statements? We are using google chrome (Version 62.0.3202.94 (Official Build) (64-bit)) and angularjs project (v1.4).

Answer 1

You've accidentally set "Pause on Exceptions" to all/uncaught exceptions.

Go to the "Sources" tab. At the bottom toolbar, toggle the button that looks like the pause symbol surrounded by a circle (6th button from the left) until the color of the circle turns black to turn it off.

May this helps you !
