Undeletable Breakpoints, LabVIEW2026Q3

Hello,

 

I have a large project with many actors and VIs. In the past, I placed breakpoints throughout my code to debug things.

However, I have had to stop using breakpoints entirely, as they seemingly are broken.

 

  1. They do not reliably "break" at the "point" that I specify.
    1. I am quite familiar on how to force the flow of execution, yet, even when a breakpoint is indisputably in the flow of execution, it only stops there ~50% of the time. It's not like it stops elsewhere, it fails to stop entirely (I am 100% sure that the code is executed though).
  2. They become undeletable.
    1. This is the most infuriating aspect. There are breakpoints that I placed weeks ago which I have gone to and "Removed Breakpoint" numerous times. I go to my top-level VI in my project, CTRL+F for breakpoints, delete all instances found. I again go to my top-level VI in my project, go to "Edit>Remove Breakpoints from Hierarchy". This goes through, seemingly deletes them, even so that if I run it again, they do not show up. YET SOMEHOW, when I run my program (in the development environment), those breakpoints show up again.

 

Is there a way to fix this? Is there a way to entirely disable breakpoints within LabVIEW? They are too buggy to use in their current state, I am forced to used my own debugging VIs and methods to inspect things.

Could it be some effect of having breakpoints saved in the VI as before and the new breakpoints in a separate file?
