Relaunch Your Debug Configuration

If your code isn’t stopping on breakpoints, variables aren’t displaying in the Variables pane, or you don’t see turning yellow gears in the Debug pane, relaunch your debug configuration.

Force.com IDE is in a maintenance-only state. We still provide support for the product through our official channels, but updates prior to October 12, 2019 will be only for critical security issues that arise. On October 12, 2019, we will no longer provide support or updates of any kind for Force.com IDE. On that date, we will also begin archiving documentation and removing download links for the product. We recommend that you start migrating to Salesforce Extensions for Visual Studio Code or one of the great tools made by our partners. For more information, see The Future of Salesforce IDEs on the Salesforce Developers Blog.

Warning

  1. Click the arrow next to the debug icon (Debug icon), and choose your configuration from the list. This action relaunches your debug configuration.
  2. Wait for the turning yellow gears to reappear in the Debug pane.
