Cannot set breakpoint(s) in Test Window v15.0.1.2051

[flea]

In my test windows I cannot set any breakpoint. Right click gives the option to "delete all" and "modify" breakpoints. If I click "modify" I get a popup with no code breakpoints - I also cannot add any here.

Note that you can only set breakpoints in PL/SQL code that is compiled in the Oracle database. You cannot set a breakpoint in the anonymous PL/SQL Block of the Test Window. This is an Oracle Server limitation.

If you need to debug an anonymous PL/SQL Block with breakpoints, then as a workaround you can create a simple "debug" stored procedure that can act as a placeholder and create a standard test script to run it. This way you can make the process a little bit more efficient.

Ok thanks Marco. But this is new then? Because I remember to have used breakpoints in Test Windows before. I'll give it a try then with a small procedure.
Cheers,

This restriction has always existed.
