Sometimes I just want to trace the follow of features through the Workspace when debugging. I have to define a Breakpoint somewhere after one of the Feature Types - and make an educated guess for the first one, or maybe I've disabled a Reader/Feature Type.

However it would be nice to be able to 'Run with Breakpoint' without one defined and popup a confirmation that says none found but would you like to use the first feature read to start the Breakpoint process. Clearly you couldn't 'Continue to next breakpoint' but could 'Step to next connection'. A very quick way of tracing a flow especially with multiple readers/feature types.

I think add a "Run and break here" to the context menu with arrow line is better.

 

Because it is not always need to watch every step.

Isn't this what the existing 'Add Breakpoint' does ?

I mean not to add the breakpoint?Right click on any line directly,then select "Run and break here".

OK - I think both options have merit
