Procedure documentationDefining Expressions for Debugging Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

The Visual Composer debugger enables you to define expressions using the Dynamic Expressions Editor. The expressions are evaluated each time the application suspends; for example, at a breakpoint or as result of a step. If an expression is invalid or cannot be evaluated in the current context, it is colored red and an error is shown next to it.

Procedure

To define an expression:

  1. Right-click the Design board and in the context menu, choose Watch.

    The Dynamic Expressions Editor dialog box opens.

  2. Create the desired expression.

    The expression is added to the Expressions View.

    Note Note

    The Expressions View lists all the breakpoints you currently have set in your workspace. However, we recommend not editing Visual Composer expressions using Expressions View, but rather by using the Dynamic Expressions Editor.

    End of the note.

Note Note

You cannot define an expression for a dataset. An expression must be defined at the field level.
