Debug tool window

Last modified: 15 January 2025

When you start a debugger session, WebStorm opens the Debug tool window where you can perform various debugger actions and analyze the program data (frames, threads, variables, and so on).

For general instructions on using tool windows, refer to Tool windows.

Debug tool window overview

By default, the Debug tool window only appears when your program hits a breakpoint and stays after the debug session is terminated. To change this behavior, open the Settings dialog (CtrlAlt0S) , go to Build, Execution, Deployment | Debugger, and select the Hide Debug window on process termination checkbox.
