Dear all,

I'm struggling with getting checkpoints to do anything for me in the Developer Console:

1. I set the checkpoint in my test class
2. I set the debugging logs to "finer" or "finset" on the apex code.
3. I run the test class
4. Nothing seems to appear in my checkpoints history.

I've read these 2 pages in the help, but I don't know what I'm missing:
https://help.salesforce.com/apex/HTViewHelpDoc?id=code_dev_console_checkpoints_setting.htm&language=en_US (https://help.salesforce.com/apex/HTViewHelpDoc?id=code_dev_console_checkpoints_setting.htm&language=en_US)
https://help.salesforce.com/apex/HTViewHelpDoc?id=code_dev_console_tab_browser_logs.htm&language=en_US#set_log_levels (https://help.salesforce.com/apex/HTViewHelpDoc?id=code_dev_console_tab_browser_logs.htm&language=en_US#set_log_levels)

Every so often, I attempt to use the Developer Console, but I'm always immediately blocked by a lack of clarity in the functionality and documentation. I've sat through the webinars on the developer console, but can never replicate the behaviours that I see in their examples.

• I can never find a useful stack trace (to see where methods have been called from) - Even if I open the "stack trace" view/window
• I can never get checkpoints to work
• The console slows down and becomes unusable very quickly

I'm not trying to post a grumpy post of all my grievances, but it would be good to get clarity if the issue is with me/my set-up or the console itself (or a mixture of the two).
