Chrome won't debug a large JS file

Question

I have a large Javascript file (20,000 lines).

The Chrome debugger won't debug it. I.e. I can put in a break point and it knows about the break point but it won't pause on it. This is definitely to do with the large file size; it work with smaller files on the same site.

Does anyone have any ideas how I can get it to work with this large file? (I'm unable to do anything about the large file size).

Use the following alternative:

• Copy the script

• Add a debugger statement

• Paste into the console

• Run the script
