How do you debug on breakpoints in swift on xcode?

Question

I face trouble using po/p command in xcode using swift. It doesn't work always and gives error most of the time. Also its response is not useful most of the time. For example, when i type "po user" it gives instead of its details and items which i could expand while using objective-c

How do you debug any breakpoint? Are there any great external tools or alternatives available for this?

it doesn't work always.. It gives error most of the time. Although it's working now, but when i type "po user" it gives <User: 0x7fa11bcaa100> instead of its details and items which i could expand while using objective-c — Avnish Gaur

po command works in swift too

po yourvariable.description
po yourvariable.debugDescription

or

po print(yourvariable)

@avnishkgaur the user is may be an object you have to catch values from it like user.name etc. Try to check it.

Having the same problem with Xcode 6 to 7.1.1. Here is a workaround until the gets bug fixed:

Use the p command instead. If this doesnt work then do "step into" before you type the p command.

p yourvariable.yourparameter
