Basic debugging problems

[Maarten Truyens]

I am confused about the way debugging is supposed to work in Scala
IDE.

I have experimented with several very simple files (basically a Main
that contains a println that calls some simple function in
another .scala file). Depending on whether I place the two files in a
subfolder of src (or instead in the main src folder), and whether I
put a "package [name]" at the top of the file, debugging works or does
not work.

However, I do not see the bigger picture here, and cannot determine
when debugging will work or will not work. In most of the cases,
Eclipse just ignores my breakpoints.

I also noticed that breakpoints sometimes do not disappear when I try
to remove them (whether by doubleclicking, or by right-clicking and
choosing the relevant option in the menu that appears). I think I have
also seen crash messages inside the popups that appear when you hover
over the breakpoint. Is this a known issue?

Many thanks!

Hi Maarten, try using the correct package name for all your source
files and place the source files in the appropriate src folder. I.e.
src/com.test/A.scala should have a package decl of package com.test .

I haven't had any issues with debugging but had issues with eclipse
locating the source files of libraries, when the source class is not
in the appropriate folder.
