Disable PSBreakpoint - PowerShell

Overview

Disable-PSBreakpoint is a PowerShell command used to disable existing breakpoints set in the integrated script debugger (ISE) or with the Set-PSBreakpoint cmdlet. It allows users to temporarily suspend debugging operations at specific points in a script and then resume execution as needed.

Syntax

Disable-PSBreakpoint [-Id] <String[]>

Options/Flags

| Option | Description |
|—|—|
| -Id | Specifies the unique identifier of the breakpoint to disable. Multiple breakpoint IDs can be provided as an array. If no -Id is specified, all existing breakpoints will be disabled. |

Examples

Disable a specific breakpoint:

Disable-PSBreakpoint -Id "MyBreakpoint1"

Disable all breakpoints:

Disable-PSBreakpoint

Common Issues

• Incorrect breakpoint ID: Ensure that the specified breakpoint ID matches an existing breakpoint in the script.
• Access denied: If the script is running as an elevated user, you may need to run PowerShell with elevated privileges to disable the breakpoint.

Integration

Disable-PSBreakpoint can be combined with other PowerShell commands for advanced debugging tasks:

• Get-PSBreakpoint: To retrieve information about existing breakpoints.
• Set-PSBreakpoint: To set new breakpoints or modify existing ones.
• Invoke-Expression: To evaluate a script expression at a specific breakpoint using Set-PSBreakpoint -Expression.
