Debugging Tools Overview
The Application Builder includes a number of tools for debugging the code in methods used by an application or in a model as model methods. This functionality is available from the Debug and Breakpoints sections of the Method ribbon toolbar. The following windows are available:
•
The Breakpoints window, contains a list of all breakpoints in all methods in the application. See Viewing and Modifying All Breakpoints for more information.
•
The Data Viewer window, which opens by default when a method is paused at a breakpoint, but you can also open it at any time from the Windows menu, the Developer toolbar, and from the Java Shell window. In this window, you can inspect and modify local variables, declarations, and parameters. See Viewing and Modifying Variables in the Data Viewer Window for more information.
•
The Call Stack window, which opens by default when a method is paused at a breakpoint. In this window, you can select a stack frame to see the corresponding local variables in the Variables window. See Displaying and Working With the Call Stack for more information.
•
The Debug Log window, which contains debugging information written to the window by code using a debugLog method. See the Viewing the Debug Log below and the Application Programming Guide for more information.
