Editor breakpoints in Isolates are not working #9209

DartBot · 2013-03-16T21:33:07Z

This issue was originally filed by nistvan....@gmail.com

What steps will reproduce the problem?

I've created a very basic web project with the following Dart code:

import 'dart:html';
import 'dart:isolate';

void main() {
  IsolateSink isolateSink = streamSpawnFunction(myIsolateEntryPoint);
  MessageBox isolateMessageBox = new MessageBox();
  isolateSink.add(isolateMessageBox.sink);
  isolateMessageBox.stream.listen((String data) {
    print(data);
  });
}

void myIsolateEntryPoint() {
  stream.listen((IsolateSink messageBoxSink) {
    messageBoxSink.add("Test");
  });
}

This will print "Test" into Dartium's console so it's working as it should.

If i place break points in Dart Editor on the body of myIsolateEntryPoint() the VM will not pause during execution. The same thing works in the main() function.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The VM should stop inside the isolate code at the breakpoint but it doesn't do this at the moment.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Dart Editor version 0.4.1_r19425
Dart SDK version 0.4.1.0_r19425
Windows 8 x64 Pro

Please provide any additional information below.

For me it seems that the debugger client running in the Dart Editor is only seeing the main isolate. If i do something in the isolate code which yields in a runtime exception (like executing splice on a null String object) i won't see any message in the editor console.

splice = slice of course :)

Big problem! Still happening in 0.4.7_r21548. Debugging unit test's is now much harder - cannot set break points in the test!

Just tried and this still doesn't work with:

Dart Editor version 0.6.5_r25017
Dart SDK version 0.6.5.0_r25017

Working with code containing Isolates is painful without this being fixed.

There will be a couple of changes needed in multiple components:

The debugging protocol needs to allow newly created isolates to stop at the entry point.
Editor debugger needs to be updated to allow specifying breakpoints in specific isolates.
Dartium debugger has to recognize and handle multiple isolates.

Currently the standalone protocol allows for pausing and inspecting different isolates, but not setting any breakpoints.

I am making this the bug tracking the overall feature request of setting breakpoints in isolates.

Issue #14225 has been merged into this issue.

iposva-google · 2013-10-18T16:18:02Z

I moved "- The debugging protocol needs to allow newly created isolates to stop at the entry point." into its own separate issue #14227. Although as long as the current support for debugging isolates is not surfaced through the UI implementing this additional feature is moot.

This still doesn't work. With the new Isolate API this can be reproduced like this:

* Command line apps:

import 'dart:isolate';
import 'dart:async';

void myIsolateEntryPoint(SendPort send) {
send.send("Test!");
}

main() {
  var res = new ReceivePort();
  Future<Isolate> remote = Isolate.spawn(doThing, res.sendPort);
  res.listen((String data) => print(data));
}

* Web apps:

main.dart

import 'dart:isolate';
import 'dart:async';

main() {
  var res = new ReceivePort();
  Future<Isolate> remote = Isolate.spawnUri(Uri.parse('iso.dart'), null, res.sendPort);
  res.listen((String data) => print(data));
}

iso.dart

import "dart:isolate";

void main(args, SendPort send) {
send.send("Test!");
}
