What is that? Sorry. I didn't join in 1.4

You can still use ScratchJS to run 1.4.
It's also on the wiki: Single Stepping.

We. Need. This.
Seriously, I cannot tell you how many times I've had to put in wait blocks to try to simulate this. It is tedious and annoying.

OK, 3 years later. Guess scratch sees no value in single stepping for some strange reason. So what are some recommended alternatives?

this thread is so dead it hurts.

I literally just noticed that there isn't single stepping in 2.0, and went “wait, WHAT?” I have no idea which part of my code isn't working. maybe I'll recreate the code in 1.4 and solve my problem that way.

Maybe we'll get this in Scratch 3.0?

I think that a good workaround for Scratch 2.0+ is to put a

 wait (3) secs

block in between every line of every script, and at the end of the script (this works in Scratch 3.0 too). The disadvantage is that the blocks don't light up.

Hey! I've been working on a Scratch mod (a forked version of the Scratch 3 platform) that implements Single Stepping and breakpoints. I think this might be of interest to a lot of you. I posted a small write-up here: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/495591/. The mod is up and accessible right now!

Single stepping mode can be very useful for debugging your scripts if something isn't working as expected, support.

Ok, I give support. I can seee what you mean, and once I spent ages trying to debug something when the problem was i had used

(length of (list :: list))

instead of

(length of [list v] :: list)

support! i know how useful it was!

Support. I find myself manually taking my code apart to debug, but it would be so much easier if it could be done automatically.

100% Support. This would be super useful
