PersistBreakpoints Property
Syntax
Engine.PersistBreakpoints
Data Type
The default return value is False. Applications that support breakpoint persistence, such as the sequence editor, should set this property to True.
Purpose
Specifies whether the engine associates the list of breakpoints with the current workspace, and automatically saves and reloads breakpoint lists when the current workspace changes. This property defaults to False for each instance of the engine. Applications that support breakpoint persistence, such as the sequence editor, should set this property to True. The persisted breakpoint list is read into memory when the option is changed to True.
Remarks
When the engine unloads a workspace and this setting is True, the engine saves the current breakpoint list in an options file with the same name as the workspace and in the same directory as the workspace file. The engine also saves the current breakpoint list when either the current workspace or any sequence file in the workspace is saved, or when any sequence file is closed.
When the engine loads a new workspace and this setting is True, the breakpoint list previously saved in the options file is automatically loaded. Otherwise, the engine keeps the current breakpoint list.
If no current workspace is loaded, the engine persists the breakpoint list to a default options file.
TestStand only persists breakpoints that apply to sequence files. TestStand does not persist breakpoints associated with executions.
