Common Issues

  • Ensure you have the correct -Breakpoint index. Use Get-PSBreakpoint to list the breakpoints and their indices.
  • If you encounter errors related to permissions, ensure you have the necessary permissions to modify the script file where the breakpoint is set.

Integration

Remove-PSBreakpoint can be used in conjunction with other debugging commands in PowerShell ISE:

  • Get-PSBreakpoint: Retrieves information about existing breakpoints.
  • Set-PSBreakpoint: Sets or modifies breakpoints.
  • Enable-PSBreakpoint: Enables disabled breakpoints.
  • Disable-PSBreakpoint: Disables active breakpoints.
  • Debug-Script: Starts a debugging session for a script.
  • Invoke-Command: Remotely executes commands and sets breakpoints.
