Unable to hit breakpoints while debugging in visual studio

[HungryGhost]

Hello there,

I am trying to learn how to debug my strategies...however I am getting the message. The source code is different from the original version. Below is a screenshot;
I have tried recompiling (from within ninjascript editor window), closing visual studio, restarting everything....to no avail...

I have followed both this guide below from ninjatrader docs, plus a random youtube I found...

I am attaching to this executable;



I've got debug mode turned on



No luck. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks heaps for any help

Hello HungryGhost,

Thank you for your post.

During compilation, the open source code is compiled into NinjaTrader’s assembly source. The code that runs within NinjaTrader coming from the internal source is different than the open source script you are editing, which is kept separate and exposed.

To resolve, follow one of the options to disable these safety checks:

• To modify a single breakpoint, hover over the breakpoint icon in the editor and select the settings (gear) icon. A peek window is added to the editor. At the top of the peek window, there's a hyperlink that indicates the location of the breakpoint. Select the hyperlink to allow modification of the breakpoint location and check Allow the source code to be different from the original.
• To modify this setting for all breakpoints, go to Debug > Options and Settings. On the Debugging/General page, clear the Require source files that exactly match the original version option. Make sure to reenable this option when you're finished debugging.

These instructions come from the Microsoft documentation on Troubleshooting Breakpoints in the Visual Studio Debugger:

Microsoft documentation: Learn > Troubleshoot > Visual Studio > Troubleshoot breakpoints in the debugger


Please let me know if I may be of any further assistance.
