This is a regression Steps to reproduce: - create any sample - open a source file in the editor - set cursor on any executable line in the code - call Debug->New Breakpoint... - select Line as a BP type - press OK Result: Information window appears with a message "The specified file does not exist".
Remember I mentioned I'd found a serious gdb issue at todays iteam? At the time I found it I was checking why breakpoints weren't correctly being set. I think this is the same problem as the one I was originally tracking down. In my case, I was having toggle breakpoints fail. A brief analysis: gdb works best if I set a breakpoint with a file name (as opposed to a path). So "-break-insert args.c:9" works but "-break-insert C:\path\to\args\args.c:9" doesn't. In NB 6.1, gdb used the short name. In current builds, its using a full path name.
Fixed in http://hg.netbeans.org/main?cmd=changeset;node=9e5aa41fbd2d Besides fixing the Line BP panel, I also fixed a related toggle breakpoint bug.
verified in NB dev build #3297 Please review the fix to satisfy NetBeans 6.5 Code Freeze Process.
