Komodo IDE conditional breakpoints for Perl

Posted by Henry on 2009-01-07 12:25

I'm using Komodo IDE
Komodo IDE, version 4.2.1, build 283000, platform win32-x86.
Built on Tue Nov 13 13:52:03 2007.
I'm debugging a perl application: the application is running on UNIX while the debugging is on Windows. Regular break points work, but when I try to change regular break point to conditional one (by going to break point properties and specifying the condition) the condition is ignored.

Is it a know problem or do I need special libraries for this to work? Anyone has a solution or workaround to have conditional breakpoints work?
Thank you!

When you add the condition, and then press "OK"
when the Condition tab is active, does the condition
take? Does the test show up in the "Condition"
field of the Breakpoints tab of the bottom panel,
or does it say "(no condition)"?

Also, you need to make sure the condition is valid
Perl code. A common pitfall (at least one I make
moving from one language to another) is to write
a test like <<$foo == "weird data" >>. This
test is true for all non-numeric values of $foo
