# Breakpoint menu

A condition breakpoint is a breakpoint in which debugger will stop if a certain condition is met. To set a conditional breakpoint use the breakpoint menu and choose `Set conditional breakpoint':

Once done a dialog pops up where you can enter a condition:

The condition is a Boolean expression that follows the same rule as the expression you can enter in the expression evaluation tool.

Caution: if you enter an expression that is not supported or which raises an error during evaluation, by default the condition is considered as True (then the debugger will stop)
