Debug option

Post by Down2easy » 18 Mar 2015 11:37

Would it be possible to make some kind of debug option where you can go though a flow, step by step?

And in every step you can see or lookup the value of the variables.

I don't know if it is possible but I think it would be very helpful in larger and complicate flows.

It is possible by executing actions one by one but it's quite cumbersome and requires quite a few extra steps.

This definitely gets my vote too.

I'd like to add a sandbox option to this request. After running a flow in debug mode, all the changed settings would optionally revert to their original value.

I agree that it would be nice to add a debug option without modifying the flow so I'll add it to the list of features under consideration (keep adding +1 if you would also like this feature). However it will be quite low priority for the moment since almost the same thing can already be achieved by adding conditions Debug Dialog to the interesting sections of the flow.

Just an ideea. How about adding a checkbox to every action or just some, to create a breakpoint and display variables there. I dont know how hard would that be. The implementation is up to you, of course.

I would probably add this feature to the connection between actions/conditions so you could select the connection->edit->set breakpoint. The variables and the corresponding values would be shown when the flow executes this particular connection (similar like condition Debug Dialog already does).
