Re: debugger with b load "file"

Ok.. I think I figured it out.

I checked the paths and perms everything is where I expect it to be and has sufficient permissions to be read.

I then took a walk through the source code and discovered that the module is being loaded inside an eval .. which I'm guessing is why the debugger never sees it load

Thanks

No, still works for me:
