4. When to use the debugger?
Previous pageTable of contentsNext page
The debugger can always be used when running a test from the editor. Simply set a breakpoint at the desired location to debug the site step by step.
The different types of tests available from the editor are as follows:
  • "Go" on page:
    The page in the editor can be tested via in the quick access buttons of WEBDEV.
  • "Go" on project:
    The project test on the development computer can be run via:
    • found in the quick access buttons of WEBDEV,
    • on the "Project" tab, in the "Test mode" group, expand "Test mode" and select "Debug project".
  • The deployed project:
    The deployed project can be debugged. This feature is very useful to reproduce a problem that occurs under specific conditions.
    To start the deployed project, on the "Project" tab, in the "Test mode" group, expand "Test mode" and select "Connect to a site and debug the connection".
    Remark: This option can be used with a development server or with a deployment server. The server must be configured to allow the remote debugging.
  • The deployed project being used:
    The deployed project can be debugged while being used. This feature is very useful to reproduce a problem that occurs under specific conditions. Most common case: a problem occurs while you are using the site: you can start the debugger immediately by setting a breakpoint in the code of your project.
    To use a session of deployed project, go to the "Project" tab, "Test mode" group, expand "Test mode" and select "Debug an existing connection".
    Remark: This option can be used with a development server or with a deployment server. The server must be configured to allow the remote debugging.
