Nodeclipse Debugging Won't Stop at Breakpoints

Question

I'm trying to debug a test Node app with Nodeclipse in Eclipse. I am following the directions under "debugging" from the Nodeclipse home page. I set a breakpoint via the ruler, right click the file, and select debug as Node Application. Eclipse switches to the Debug perspective, and then pauses the debugger on the first line of my file (which did not have a breakpoint), which is now showing in a new editor with a filename like "C_workspace_project_app.js" and with my code wrapped in a function like:

(function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) {

If I hit "F8" to continue the program, it does not stop at the breakpoint I have set in the original editor. However, if I add breakpoints in the new editor, the program will pause on them. This would be fine, except there is no way to set breakpoints in other files. Seems to me the breakpoints I set in the Eclipse editor are not being synced with the debugger. I do see an error abotu breakpoint toggling in my .metadata/.log file, attached. Am I doing something wrong?

I have Eclipse 4.2.2, with many plugins installed, like the Web Tools Platform, JSDT, etc. I have Nodeclipse 0.4.0, and ChromeDevTools 0.3.9.

Answer 1

If you install Nodeclipse into a new fresh eclipse install and run with a new clean workspace, it should work well.

Thanks

Answer 2

Your project folder needs to be inside the Eclipse workspace folder. (not referencing to a project in another location)
