Debugger. Stepping

Use this page to improve the debug stepping speed and specify the elements to be skipped while stepping.

Always do smart step into

By default, this checkbox is selected and Smart Step Into is invoked automatically when you invoke Step Into F7 in a line that contains multiple method calls. After that, you can select the call to step into.

If this checkbox is cleared, you can choose between Step Into F7 or Smart Step Into Shift+F7.

For details and examples, see Step into and Smart step into.

Do not step into library scripts

Select this checkbox to suppress stepping into library scripts while debugging.

In the example, the debugger skips a library method console.log() with regular Step into at line 4 but enters this method at line 10 with Force step into.

Force step into overrides the list of ignored scripts
