Events

HermesHermes (Legacy)React NativeChrome DevTools

Debugger.breakpointResolved #

Fired when breakpoint is resolved to an actual script and location.

Parameters

breakpointId
BreakpointId

Breakpoint unique identifier.

location
Location

Actual breakpoint location.


HermesHermes (Legacy)Chrome DevTools

Debugger.paused #

Fired when the virtual machine stopped on breakpoint or exception or any other stop criteria.

Although the documentation lists the "data" field as optional for the @cdp Debugger.paused event: https://chromedevtools.github.io/devtools-protocol/tot/Debugger/#event-paused it is accessed unconditionally by the front-end when the pause reason is "exception". "data" is passed in as "auxData" via: https://github.com/facebookexperimental/rn-chrome-devtools-frontend/blob/9a23d4c7c4c2d1a3d9e913af38d6965f474c4284/front_end/core/sdk/DebuggerModel.ts#L994 and "auxData" stored in a DebuggerPausedDetails instance: https://github.com/facebookexperimental/rn-chrome-devtools-frontend/blob/9a23d4c7c4c2d1a3d9e913af38d6965f474c4284/front_end/core/sdk/DebuggerModel.ts#L642 which then has its fields accessed in: https://github.com/facebookexperimental/rn-chrome-devtools-frontend/blob/main/front_end/panels/sources/DebuggerPausedMessage.ts#L225 If the "data" ("auxData") object is absent, accessing its fields will throw, breaking the display of pause information. Thus, we always populate "data" with an object. The "data" field has no schema in the protocol metadata that we use to generate message structures, so we need to manually construct a JSON object here. The structure expected by the front-end (specifically, the "description" field) can be inferred from the field access at the URL above. The front-end does gracefully handle missing fields on the "data" object, so we can consider the "description" field optional.

Parameters

callFrames
array[ CallFrame ]

Call stack the virtual machine stopped on.

reason
string

Pause reason.

Allowed values: XHR, DOM, EventListener, exception, assert, debugCommand, promiseRejection, other
