Chrome javascript debugger breakpoints don’t do anything?

by

I’m not sure why your breakpoints aren’t hitting, but one sure-fire way to step into your code is to type

debugger;

where you want the code to halt, and then run again with the chrome developer tools window open.

Just one small thing to be aware of, be sure to clean up after you done and remove the debugger lines. If you ever run JavaScript files through YUI compressor, the existence of a debugger; line will cause it to error out.
