Description IrianR 2014-02-15 10:42:03 UTC 
[ BUILD # : 201402150001 ]
[ JDK VERSION : 1.7.0_45 ]

STEPS:
   execute Two top level classes in one file - step functionality Test Case
http://services.netbeans.org/synergy/client/app/index.html#/case/1227/suite/1664
/v/1

ACTUAL:
   debugger steps into method doIt directly skipping constructor.

EXPECTED:
   debugger steps into constructor first and then method as per test case
expected results.

Most probably the test case should be updated to reflect the actual behavior,
since it's also working the same way in 7.4 and you can enter the constructor
if you explicitly select it.
Comment 1 stwr 2015-07-28 18:18:10 UTC 
The debugger does not step into the constructor even if the constructor has some dummy logic:

public ClazzTwo() {
 int x = 0;
}

So now we have the fundamental question - is it expected that the debugger will step into the constructor at all (so there is a bug) or not (and then test spec should be adjusted)?

Comment 2 Martin Entlicher 2015-07-30 07:30:07 UTC 
It looks like the test specification was written when Step Into behaved in a simple way (like current Debug -> Step Into Next Method (SHIFT-F7)).

Now you can choose where to step into. By default, the last method call is suggested. If you choose to step into the constructor, you will step there.

The test spec. should be updated to reflect that.

Test specification updated accordingly. Thanks for your report.
