Debugger not breaking on 4.0b8 on MacOS Monterey – Depends on file name.

Created by: alsmithson

• I opened a sketch written by someone else and tried to use the debugger. It would not break on any line.
• I reduced the code down to 6 simple lines and it still would not break.
• I copy/pasted the code to a new, blank sketch, and breakpoints did work.
• After saving both files that only had 6 lines of code, I looked at the code with Atom and DiffMerge. Neither could find a difference except for the file name.
• I renamed the two files to good.pde and bad.pde and renamed their parent folders to match. Now both sketches break correctly.

I have another sketch by the same author with the same behavior. I could not see anything odd in the file name (though it did use underscores). I copy/pasted the file name into Atom and looked at the Hex code. Nothing was out of place, but I’m not sure my Mac did not do a conversion in the clipboard. The author speaks Spanish and lives in the Canary Islands, so maybe his keyboard is different from mine.

I have a workaround (renaming all files), but I wanted to report this odd behavior.

Reproduziere das Debugger-Verhalten unter macOS Monterey mit den ursprünglichen und kopierten sechszeiligen Sketches und vergleiche anschließend die Dateinamen und übergeordneten Ordner, einschließlich Namen mit Unterstrichen. Beginne damit zu prüfen, wie der Debugger Breakpoints mit Sketch-Dateien verknüpft; als erledigt gilt die Aufgabe, wenn die vom Dateinamen abhängige Ursache identifiziert und bestätigt wurde, dass Breakpoints ohne Umbenennen von Dateien funktionieren.
