How to debug the script includes?

[Rajan3]

How to debug the script includes, what are the ways are available. I tried to debug by setting break points in respective lines in script includes but not worked. Please give me a solution. I like to know.

Hello

You can create your own script include to debug, similar to this

And call them like this

Or add code line like this in the script include:

gs.log('DEBUG = ' + dataToDebug);

To see the debug info go to System Logs -> System log -> Script log statements

I hope my answer has been useful

What I do is gs.log in the lines of the script includes where I am having issues to know where the problem is. 

For example I will log the parameter passed from client script to see if the script include got the value. 

var formValue = this.getParameter('sysparm_formValue');

gs.log("Pritha says formValue  " + formValue);

Your logs will appear in Script Log Statements - search this in navigation filter.

Hi Ramesh,

Put some log statement(gs.log('Any string')) in your script include on those lines where you suspect your code is not working and check how many logs you are getting after calling the script include. Also if you are calling it from BR then you need not to call it again and again by fulfilling the BR's condition. Alternatively you can call it from background script.

Hope this helps.
