How to debug server side code

[Fabio Lenzarini]

Hello everyone,
unfortunately I never have a lot of time to devote to Jam.Py (I work very hard on D365 F&O).. but some timeI experiment and carry on some SW that helps me in my work.
When we have to write code that works a lot on data, we always have the dilemma:
do I write it client-side with JS or server-side in Python?
well, if we have to manipulate a lot of data, the server side is much closer to the data and definitely faster..
But it is also true that JS code is easier to debug....

Today I tried for the umpteenth time to debug the server code.

And I succeeded!
With Visual studio code I open the file “server.py” from the project folder d the file “wsgi.py” in the Jam.py folder.
I put a breackpoint at line 747 “def server_func...” where there is “result = func(obj, *params). then I debug ‘server.py’.

On the browser I open the application and run the function that executes the server-side code to debug... et voila!

I can see on Visual studio code my server funcion and I debug every line of code!

Another step is done!

ciao

Hi Fabio, 

just tried to do this but no luck.

Could you record a video?

Cheers

Hi Drazen, it was my intention to do that...
By the way I realized that there is a problem in updating the displayed sources, they are corrected only if there is an error..

ciao

Hi, 

if someone is interested, to debug server side, including Server Module content changes, add this in bold to wsgi.py:

    def server_func(self, obj, func_name, params):
        result = None
        error = ''
        func = getattr(obj, func_name)
        if func:
            result = func(obj, *params)
            if consts.SHOW_SELECT_SQL:
                print('-- Server code start --')
                print(func_name, params)
                print('-- Server code end --')
        else:
            raise Exception('item: %s no server function with name %s' % (obj.item_name, func_name))
        return result, error

If Show Select SQL is ON on Parameters, this will also show server side. Than, we can use similar format

as in items.py class SQLFormatter.

Cheers
