Ninext : Debug Tracer

Hello everyone, 

For some time, I wanted to offer you a possibility to debug your programs. I am happy to present you a first debugging tool. It's simply a tracer to display the messages coming from the debug() function of Ninox.

To make this possible, I also had to improve the Ninext popup which can now display FieldsInscpector and DebugTracer. Also, you can now access it with a new button that appears only in administrator mode.

To use it, just put the debug function in your script. The message will be displayed in the "Debug tracer" popup when the code is executed: 

In addition to debug(), you can also use the string(), typeof() and debugValueInfo() functions to get more information about your data:

var mySelection := select Customer where 'First Name' like "a";
debug(string(mySelection));
debug(typeof(mySelection));
debug(debugValueInfo(mySelection));

To activate the debugTracer, just add this code to the AfterOpenTriger option (learn more about NinextProject) :

var code := http("GET", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JacquesTur/Ninext/main/loadModules.html").result;
dialog("Ninext intialization", "<script>
window.exConfigLoadModules = {
    completion: false,
    badges: true,
    evalJS: true,
    viewEvent: true,
    buttonEvent : true,
    fieldsInspector: true,
    nativeJS: true,
    tableView: true,
    debugTracer : true,      autoCloseDialog: false
};
</script>" + code, ["close"])

I hope this will help you to debug your code and understand better what is going on in it.

And until then, I wish you all a merry Christmas .
