Pass Count on breakpoints
Answered
I'm using the Python plugin for IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate 2019.02.
It seems that breakpoints don't have a "pass count" property so that I can break on, say, the 10th time a breakpoint is hit. This is something that's available when debugging Java code.
Any chance this can be added? Any workaround people use?

Hi,
Do you mean conditional breakpoints?

No, as far as I can tell conditional breakpoints can't be used to stop at the Nth time a breakpoint is hit.
I'm talking about the "pass count" functionality mentioned here: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/using-breakpoints.html
Oh, I see. You can use conditional breakpoints for loops, but it's not possible for e.g. methods that are called several times unless there is a similar counter.
