AssemblyLine Debugger

The AssemblyLine debugger is a simple debugger that allows you to suspend AssemblyLine processing and show values of various variables and objects in a debugger console. 

The debugger is started by using the Run Debugger button in the AssemblyLine.

By adding watch variables, the Admin Tool will display the value of the variables at all break points. Examples of variables you might want to watch is work (the work entry) or work.getAttribute("Item") (just the attribute Item).  This is a great way to watch the contents of internal variables and know where they are defined and not.

The Evaluate button lets you write expressions and check their value:  Evaluating work gives you the content of the work entry (if it exists). Evaluating 1+1 gives you 2.  

Breakpoints can be set in hooks, by enabling the Debug Break checkbox.  However, the AssemblyLine will not break on hooks without code.

Also, the call

  • task.debugMsg ( "message" )

will write "message" to the debug console and force a break (only when debugging).
