JavaScript Debugging Exception Errors

For some reason the pause on exception button is not appearing on Chome browser' developer tools. How can I fix this?

I have been trying to follow along the Debugging module of the "Intro to Programming" course on "Tree House," but there is no "Pause on Exception" button appearing on developer tools in my computer's Google Chrome web-browser's "Developer Tools," on the right-hand column of its "Source" tab, next to the "Deactivate Breakpoint" button. Is there a way for me to fix this issue, so that it does? Could somebody help me with this problem?

Hi there, Nataly Mota! As is often the case, things change rapidly in the tech world. It seems that the button has been removed in the newer versions of Chrome, and you can now find two separate checkboxes under the "Breakpoints" subsection under the "Source" tab of the developer tools. There are now two separate pause conditions, one for uncaught exceptions and one for caught exceptions.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
