The are two problems with setting breakpoints using our API: 1. Clients have to manage the list of sticky breakpoints and constantly call setStickyBreakpoints to sync that list with backend. 2. There is no way to set JavaScript breakpoint by url. To fix the first problem, we should update sticky breakpoints on backend each time client calls set/remove breakpoint method. Since we have two independent debugger agents (InspectorDebuggerAgent and InspectorBrowserDebuggerAgent), sticky breakpoints management should be implemented in both. Client should have to sync all breakpoints just once at the beginning using the following methods: [domain=Inspector] setAllJavaScriptBreakpoints(breakpoints) [domain=Inspector] setAllBrowserBreakpoints(breakpoints) To fix the second problem, JavaScript debugger API should allow setting breakpoint by both url and sourceID. [domain=Debugger] setJavaScriptBreakpoint(url, lineNumber, condition, enabled, out breakpointId) [domain=Debugger] setJavaScriptBreakpointBySourceID(sourceID, lineNumber, condition, enabled, out breakpointId) [domain=Debugger] removeJavaScriptBreakpoint(breakpointId)
