Debug

The current message object or variable data is displayed in the Output panel beneath the Flow Designer during execution. Additionally, if the robot is initiated from the Command Prompt/Terminal, the data will also appear there. Alternatively, the data can be directed to DEBUG logs.

Common Properties​

  • Name - The custom name of the node.
  • Color - The custom color of the node.
  • Delay Before (sec) - Waits in seconds before executing the node.
  • Delay After (sec) - Waits in seconds after executing node.
  • Continue On Error - Automation will continue regardless of any error. The default value is false.
info

If ContinueOnError property is true, no error is caught when the project is executed even if Catch node is used.

Options​

  • Active - Turn on or off the Debug node
  • System Console - Write debug dumps into the Command Prompt (Windows) or the Terminal (Mac / Linux) only if the robot is started from the command line
  • Log Debug - Write debug dumps into the logs folder

Example​

You can use the Debug node to view the value of a variable or the message object during runtime. Set "Active" to "true" to view debug information. Choose "System Console" for displaying information in the Command Prompt/Terminal and "Log Debug" for storing information in a text file under C:/Users/username/AppData/Local/Robomotion/logs/ on Windows or $HOME/.config/robomotion/logs on Mac/Linux.
