[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #45404] Breakpoints cannot be set in classdef methods or +package function files

[Richard]

Follow-up Comment #11, bug #45404 (project octave):

The ML docs here:

https://uk.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_oop/using-the-editor-and-debugger-with-classes.html

state that dbstop accepts and file specification accepted by the edit command,
but this doesn't seem to work for class methods, e.g. for a class waveClass on
my path:


>> edit  waveClass.plotEta % works, opens at the plotEta method

>> dbstop waveClass.plotEta
Error using dbstop
Cannot find function "waveClass.plotEta".


However, the following stackoverflow question

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19523965/how-to-place-a-breakpoint-at-the-start-of-a-method-programmatically

reveals that both of the following works:


dbstop in waveClass at waveClass.plotEta
dbstop waveClass at waveClass.plotEta

 
I suppose technically this agrees with the matlab doc. 

For another class, waveSettings, on my path which is in a package directory
(+wsim), the following  is the syntax:


>> dbstop in wsim.waveSettings at waveSettings.plotEta % works
>> dbstop in wsim.waveSettings at wsim.waveSettings.plotEta
Error using dbstop
Cannot find function "wsim.waveSettings.plotEta" within "waveSettings".
