Breakpoint Status

Breakpoint Status Indicators

Status	Icon	Description
Active		The Breakpoint has been applied to one or more of your applications, and is ready to stream data.
Pending		The Breakpoint has not been applied by any of your applications.
Disabled		The Breakpoint has been disabled and will not collect data.
Error and Warning		There was an issue with applying this breakpoint in one or more applications.

Pending

Pending status indicates that the breakpoint has not been applied to any of your applications. This could mean one of the following:

• No Application instances

  The breakpoint could not be applied because no application instance matches the current filter. This could mean one of the following:

  • The Rookout SDK has not been installed.
  • The Rookout SDK has been installed, but the application cannot connect to the Rookout service.
  • The application can connect to the Rookout service, but is excluded by the current filter definition.
  • The application is a serverless application, that only spins up on demand.

• Wrong Source File

  The source file you used the set the breakpoint is not loaded in any of the applications in the current filter.

• (JVM) No Code

  You have set the breakpoint on a line that has no executable code associated with it.

• (JVM) No Debug Information

  You have compiled your classes without debug information. Click here for more information.

• (Node) No Source Maps

  You are using a transpiled application without including source maps. Check out the Rookout source map support section.

• (Python/Node) Code is in a Dependency

  You are debugging a package deployed as a dependency. This requires setting up your source repository accordingly.

• (Python/Node) Different File Layout

  File paths are changed between source repository and deployment. This requires setting up your source repository accordingly.

Active

Active status occurs when one of or more of your applications has applied the Breakpoint and no errors have been reported.
In most cases, once the Breakpoint has transitioned to active, you will see messages collected the next time the line is executed.

If you fail to see any messages arriving, this may be caused by any of the following reasons:

• Incorrect Application

  You are not invoking the correct line of code in the correct application instance.

• Output to Integration

  You are using a custom Breakpoint that sends the message to another Target.

• (Python) Preforking

  You are using a pre-forking framework. Rookout must only be loaded after forking, check out the documentation.

• (Python/JVM) Long Running Function

  You have placed a breakpoint on a long running function. In this runtime, breakpoints are only applied for function calls performed after the Breakpoint was created.

• (Node) Running with a Debugger

  You are using Rookout side-by-side with another debugger such as WebStorm or Stackdriver Debugger.

• (Node) No Source Maps

  You are using a transpiled application. Try using a minimal transpile level, or set it to a recent version of Node.js. Check out the Rookout source map support section.

Error

Error status occurs when one of or more of your applications has reported an error in processing, applying or executing the Breakpoint.

Error messages are clearly documented within the IDE, but here are some of the common ones:

• Source file has changed

  Rookout verifies that the source file you are seeing in our IDE is the file you deploying in your application. If the file version is wrong (detected using an Hash calculation) the Breakpoint will not be set. If you use source commit detection you will see the correct git commit to use on the App instances page.

• (Python) Invalid Breakpoint position

  The breakpoint has been placed where Rookout cannot set it. This includes empty lines, comments and module-scope code (outside of classes and functions). This may also mean Rookout has been imported too early - in Python it must be imported after all modules has been loaded (read more about it here).

• Sending to Rookout is Disabled

  The system administrator has disabled sending application data to the Rookout service for security reasons (read more about this configuration here). Please choose another data sink for your breakpoint.

Warning

Warning indicates some problems have occured with the Breakpoint, and Rookout is trying it's best to deliver the data you've requested.

Warning messages are clearly documented within the IDE, but here are some of the common ones:

• Breakpoint collection is sampled due to rate-limiting

  Rookout employs a built-in rate-limiting mechanism to prevent breakpoints set in hot code paths from impacting application performance. This error indicates the rate limit has been hit and the breakpoint has been rate-limited for the offending application instance. Collection is sampled in order to prevent performance impact on your application. Read more about configuring rate-limiting here.

• Path suggestion

  Source file was deployed to unexpected location, this might happen in some serverless frameworks. We have matched a file with the same hash but in a different path than the wanted one. Use the .rookout and the suggestion to map the paths correctly.

• (JVM/.Net) Source file not found

  Rookout relies on source file hashing to ensure you are debugging the correct version of the files you are trying to debug.

  • In most JVM based languages, please include your source within your Jar/War/Ear archives. Read more about it on our setup page.
  • In most .Net based languages, please embedded sources into your pdb. Read more about it on our setup page.

• (Node) Original Source Files are Missing

  Rookout relies on source file hashing to ensure you are debugging the correct version of the files you are trying to debug. For transpiled JS/TS/CS, please deploy your original sources side-by-side with the transpiled ones or include sources within the source map. Read more about it on our setup page.
