Debugging Components

Learn how to debug actions, database operations, and Entity APIs.

Server-side Debugging

Designer logs help you debug your applications.

You can debug any Action, Database operation, or Entity API execution by checking the Execution > Enable Log Visualization property. This logs every execution of the action or API. These logs may be viewed from the Debug Log Viewer.

Debug Log Viewer

The Log Details section shows the following:

  • Input: Shows the input data sent to the action. Displays data in JSON format.

  • Output: Shows the output data from the action. For results that are an array, this section displays: The size of the List is: N

  • Errors: Shows any errors that occur during execution

  • Logs: This section shows the logs output for the action. Custom logs can be printed for JavaScript and Branch actions. To print custom logs, use:

    context.log(message)
