The MarkLogic debugger API breaks on expression IDs. Any given source line may contain several expressions, and individual expressions can span multiple source lines.
The IntelliJ UI allows for setting a breakpoint on a line-basis only. In some cases, re-arranging the source will allow for selecting the desired expression, but not always.
The current design sets a breakpoint on the last expression seen on a line, which is usually the right thing, but makes it effectively impossible to break on entry to a function, for example (as opposed to the first expression inside a function). This is because a function expression occurs on every line of its contained expressions.
It would be useful if a popup could be displayed when setting a breakpoint on a line with multiple expressions that would allow for selecting the desired expression to set the breakpoint on.
