Ok, yeah I can break there also - but can you set a breakpoint in `scripted.js` and have it hit (as in, the actual script definition in /public/dashboards)? This looks like it’s boiling down to a misunderstanding of how the dashboard scripts are served (and a lack of knowledge of Javascript in general maybe).

I was hoping to set a breakpoint in my script file, but it looks like it’s serving that file as an anonymous (or some other JS terminology 🙂) file that I can’t set breakpoints in beforehand?
