This page describes how to step into or step over a function in your JavaScript code using the Aptana JavaScript debugger.
Introduction
Stepping into a function or stepping over a function can help you see exactly what is going on within your JavaScript code. To step into or step over a JavaScript function you will need to suspend the current thread, first, before proceeding.
Instructions
To step into or step over a JavaScript function:
- Start the debugger and switch to the Aptana Debug perspective. (See Running the debugger if you need help.)
- Suspend the current JavaScript thread.
- In the Debug View, select the thread that you want to suspend.
- Click the Suspend button to suspend the JavaScript code on the first executed line. While the thread is suspended, your web browser user interface will be completely disabled.
- Step into, step over, or return from your function:
- Click the Step Into button to step into a function.
- Click the Step Over button to step over a function.
- Click the Step Return button to return from a function.
