Flow debugging

flow debuggerI’ve just been tracking down a problem with one of the Cocoon sites we’re developing, and for the first time I had to use the flowscript debugger in anger as I couldn’t work out what was going on.

I have to say, I was amazed at how well it works. Simply enabling it in the Cocoon configuration and restarting Cocoon means you get a debug window when your flow begins, and you can step through what’s happening and monitor what’s going on with your variables. It allowed me to narrow down the problem to one function, and then some wise words from Upayavira gave me enough information to resolve it. Very, very cool.
