Description
The Get-PSBreakPoint
cmdlet gets the breakpoints that are set in the current session. You can use
the cmdlet parameters to get particular breakpoints.
A breakpoint is a point in a command or script where execution stops temporarily so that you can
examine the instructions. Get-PSBreakpoint
is one of several cmdlets designed for debugging
PowerShell scripts and commands. For more information about the PowerShell debugger, see
about_Debuggers.
Examples
Example 1: Get all breakpoints for all scripts and functions
This command gets all breakpoints set on all scripts and functions in the current session.
Get-PSBreakpoint
Example 2: Get breakpoints by ID
This command gets the breakpoint with breakpoint ID 2.
Get-PSBreakpoint -Id 2
Function :
IncrementAction :
Enabled :
TrueHitCount : 0
Id : 2
Script : C:\ps-test\sample.ps1
ScriptName : C:\ps-test\sample.ps1
Example 3: Pipe an ID to `Get-PSBreakpoint`
These commands show how to get a breakpoint by piping a breakpoint ID to Get-PSBreakpoint
.
$B = `Set-PSBreakpoint` -Script "sample.ps1" -Command "Increment"
$B.Id | Get-PSBreakpoint
The Set-PSBreakpoint
cmdlet creates a breakpoint on the Increment function in the Sample.ps1
script and saves the breakpoint object in the $B
variable. The Id property of the breakpoint
object in the $B
variable is piped to the Get-PSBreakpoint
cmdlet to display the breakpoint
information.
Example 4: Get breakpoints in specified script files
This command gets all of the breakpoints in the Sample.ps1
and SupportScript.ps1
files.
Get-PSBreakpoint -Script "Sample.ps1, SupportScript.ps1"
This command does not get other breakpoints that might be set in other scripts or on functions in the session.
Example 5: Get breakpoints in specified cmdlets
This command gets all Command breakpoints that are set on Read-Host
or Write-Host
commands in
the Sample.ps1
file.
Get-PSBreakpoint -Command "Read-Host, Write-Host" -Script "Sample.ps1"
Example 6: Get Command breakpoints in a specified file
Get-PSBreakpoint -Type Command -Script "Sample.ps1"
This command gets all Command breakpoints in the Sample.ps1 file.
Example 7: Get breakpoints by variable
This command gets breakpoints that are set on the $Index
and $Swap
variables in the current
session.
Get-PSBreakpoint -Variable "Index, Swap"
Example 8: Get all Line and Variable breakpoints in a file
This command gets all line and variable breakpoints in the Sample.ps1
script.
Get-PSBreakpoint -Type Line, Variable -Script "Sample.ps1"
