Debug Console on Version 2727 on MAC Slow to load and respond

The debug console is getting slower and slower and slower.

I have tried stopping the app, closing debug, re-opening debug, restarting XDK but when trying to debug an app it can take 2 or 3 minutes before I get control of the app under the Emulate tab.

It looks to me as if the cache is not clearing and is having to load lots of history before I regain control. Sometimes it can take 2 or 3 minutes to load source code to add code breaks.

Is there a way to delete any cached data in the console.

I'm using a MAcBook Air i7 with 8GB RAM and El Capitan

I think I have pinpointed the problem down to breakpoints.

If I remove them the console responds quickly.

Just adding one breakpoint causes a delay of 15 to 20 seconds before control is returned to the IDE as the console loads.

Each breakpoint you add, adds about 20 seconds to the console load time, so 3 or 4 breakpoints for testing can cause a delay of 1 to 1.5 minutes before the IDE is responsive.

Nick, I recommend you use the Debug tab for better results.

Thanks Paul, but the Debug

Thanks Paul, but the Debug tab can also be combersome and slow especially each time it try to build a debug module.

Every time I have to cancel and use a generic debug console but this can take as long as using the emulator tab.

Nick, if you let the XDK build a debug module once for your project, you will not have to build it again unless you make Build Settings changes or add/remove/change plugins in the project. So, assuming your are not making build settings or plugin changes very often, moving to the Debug tab should be fairly fast. If you change a source file in your app (i.e., index.html, *.js, *.css, etc.) and save the file and then switch back to the XDK while Debug is happening, the Debug tab will automatically detect that file change event and offer to update the changed files on the device and then restart your app. Changing source files in your app will not cause a new debug module to be built.
