AngularJS watch - unable to set breakpoint in chrome using devtools workspaces

Question

Does the watch service create a proxy of the original function ?

$scope.$watch('query', doSearch, true);

where :

doSearch = function(query) {
  alert("breakpoint not working");
  // stuff
}

The alert gets shown, but if I add a breakpoint to the code using chrome debugger, its does not break at all. Whereas other break points in non-watched javascript functions work as normal.

Update : The break point works fine when I don't use the workspaces feature of chrome dev tools.

Answer 1

Try using the debugger command..
For me it works when regular breakpoints to work on chrome.
