Debugging a Service
 |
The JavaScript Debugger (beta) is currently available in preview mode only and is not a verified feature in ThingWorx Platform 10.0.x releases.
|
To start debugging using the JavaScript Debugger, perform the following steps:
1. From Composer, click > .
2. Select a Thing from the list.
The General Information tab for the selected Thing appears.
3. Click the Services tab, and select the JavaScript service that you want to debug.
The code for the service appears in the script editor.
4. Click the gutter area to the left of the numbered column and add breakpoints to the code.

When debugging a service on a Thing Template or Thing Shape, the system does not recognize the breakpoints defined on them. You may need to specify the breakpoints on the implemented Thing service that is selected. PTC recommends that you start the Thing and debug the service from there. For more information, see Thing Services and Breakpoints.
