Breakpoint weirdness in 3022

I'm seeing this with part of my classes (incidentally this is the part
I'm working on.) We have a client and a server, I can run fine the
client in the debugger, but not the server. As you said, all my
breakpoints turn invalid as soon as I start the debugger.

Could you please post step by step how did you "fix" your problem?

Since upgrading to 3022, I noticed that my breakpoints were getting a
proper "check" mark when I initially started debugging, but were almost
immediately changing to an X. I tried rebuilding my project, clearing
the classes dir, moving the output classes dir, checking and rechecking
the "Generate Debugging Info Box", but nothing worked. Finally, I was
able to fix things by - of all things - clearing the "Generate Debugging
Info" box and then trying to debug with a fresh classes dir. This
worked fine! I then re-enabled it and debugged, and it still works.
However, once I cleared the box AND cleared the classes cache, I finally
got the expected behavior.

This smells like a bug, but I wanted to post here mostly to help anyone
else with this problem.

Sure, although I have had this happen again and it wasn't as easy to fix
this time. I just went through a loop of enabling/disabling the
"Generate Debugging Info", Rebuilding the project, and restarting IJ.
Eventually, it started working again. I wish I had a simpler approach,
but this is what worked for me. If I remember right, restarting was the
last thing I did before I got bps back.

hope that helps

I keep having this problem, although I can't believe there are only two
of us. During the day, as I'm debugging, suddenly breakpoints get
disabled. If I hover on the X is says that the Source code has changed,
even though I'm sure it hasn't. Could this be because my source is on a
network drive? I would really love to find out why this is happening.

thanks,

My source is on the local drive and I used to get the same behaviour.
Then I went back to the official 4.5 release, which worked without a
hitch with the same caches, different config. Then, the other day I
started the EAP and it just worked.

Btw, I'm using JDK 1.3 for running and debugging.

Don't worry Adam. You two aren't the only ones seeing this problem. I've run into it myself. Breakpoints all of a sudden become "invalid" but begin working again after a series of opening new projects and shutting down IJ (don't know the exact steps required - it just starts working again).
