Vscode-react-native: Unverified Breakpoint - debugging and breakpoints not working

[mitja13]

Breakpoints cannot be set (app is successfully lunched), and bunch of errors are displayed. Tried a lot of fix recipes, created a vanilla project, reinstall modules ... but the errors persists.

Actual Behavior

1. Breakpoints appear grey with an "Unverified Breakpoint" note

Expected Behavior

1. Breakpoints work

[chenzhiyuan0402]

same issue with me.

[vladimir-kotikov]

@mitja13, thanks for reporting.

While the debug console output looks scary in fact this is just a warning message that states that extension wasn't able to determine correct plist file location to use to enable JS debug mode on simulator and hence it's likely the thing that causes issues w/ inactive breakpoints.

Could you please look into RN debug meny on simulator (after starting debugging from VSCode) and check whether JS debug is enabled and if it isn't - enable it. This will trigger app to reload code and most likely will enable breakpoints.

[chenzhiyuan0402]

I also have the same issue, and I found that RN debug menu can't display when I press Cmd+D on IOS simulator.

Below is chrome developer tool console that start from vscode.

[carlthuringer]

I am also having this issue. I tried your advice, @vladimir-kotikov but it does not enable breakpoints. Strangely it seemed to be working before, but many changes later it is now broken.

[mitja13]

@vladimir-kotikov the debug is working now, but not sure what was changed. did reconstruct the project structure from a new init (or package update did it).

[mostafaeweda]

same here

[vladimir-kotikov]

@carlthuringer, @mostafaeweda, any chance that you would be able to provide a minimal app that reproduces that issue? I suspect it might happen due to specific structure of your iOS project, but I was not able to repro this.

[vladimir-kotikov]

@carlthuringer, @mostafaeweda, closing this. If you're still experiencing the problem feel free to reopen

[edi]

Hello. Unfortunately, I'm facing the very same issue.

Adding a breakpoint, appears greyed out, with an Unverified Breakpoint note.
Note that the debug connsole has successfully established a connection to the proxy packager.

Also, I don't have any errors inside Help > DevTools > Console, iOS app's running ok, removed ios/build files so the packager can create a fresh batch of files ..

Please advise

[vladimir-kotikov]

@EduardJS hello and thanks for letting us know. We haven't heard about any issues with debugging for some time so this might be something new.

Would you mind creating a separate issue and filing all fields in issue's template to help us diagnose your problem?

[deadrats]

Hi there, I had an "unverified" BP issue, but I realized that the file was actually a soft link (ln).
Setting BP in the real file was fine..

[svekl]

Hi @deadrats, thank you for your comment, can you, please, provide us some more info? What file did you have as a soft link? I'm asking because I was not able to make RN packager to work with soft links.

Yes, sure.
I forgot to mention it was on Linux.

soft links are 'file1 -> file2' if you're not familiar w/ Linux;
I wasn't able to use "cmd.py" because it conflicts within "pdb", the standard low-level debugger.

So I made the soft link 'cmd.py -> cmds.py'
But seting the BP with code-insider did not work.. Until I set it at the right place !
(the actual file)

I realize this is doubly obolete ><
Thanks for all, have it easy

Hi @deadrats, thanks for provided details.
I see you had an issue with Python project, but this is a React Native Tools extension repository, I think you meant to report to https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/ ?
