Have you considered using helper routines from service_test_common.dart ?

It's possible that the isolate hasn't paused at start yet. This will likely
flake on the bots. See the helper routine `hasPausedAtStart` for a race free
version.

+
+  // Set breakpoint at the "var x = {};" line.
+  var rootLib = isolate.rootLibrary;
+  await rootLib.load();
+  isolate.addBreakpoint(rootLib.scripts[0], LINE_A);
+
+  // Resume (and step on every pause via the event stream listener above).
+  isolate.resume();
+
+  // The test is done once the completer is complete.
+  return completer.future;
+}
+
+var tests = [stepThroughProgram];
+
+main(args) => runIsolateTestsSynchronous(args, tests,
+    testeeConcurrent: code, pause_on_start: true, pause_on_exit: true);
