How to force a break

Is there a "correct " way to force a debugger session to open? A smalltalk break point? Currently I am sending an unrecognized method, but it seems awkward.

Re: How to force a break

self break. "works"

self halt. "also works."

foo halt. "should work if foo inherits from Object like most things"

Hope this helps!

self halt.
You can then simply step over it in the debugger.
