How to debug without having to constantly rerun flow - Flow Variables Disappear

(0) Share

Posted on by kmur

Hello,

I'm trying to find a more efficient way to debug. Currently, I have some long flows that in the beginning collect necessary flow variables such as the browser instance, but as soon as I run into a problem it becomes a nightmare to debug.

Whenever I make a change I have to run all the way from the beginning because the 'Run from here' button clears all my variables and doesn't let me actually debug the one part I'm having issues with.

Is there some feature I'm missing - how do I keep flow variables present while I test specific parts?

The browser instance is something that gets initialised when the browser is launched. And PAD will need it to be initialised in order to be used in the subsequent steps.

Just at the place where you use "Run from here', are you able to temporarily add a 'launch browser' only to be used during troubleshooting purposes and commented at other times.

Hi @kmur,

If you need to run from half of the action, u can use launch browser option, and the browser will be open right, so just use attach window and pass the title, so you can run from there.
