The project must be able to be deployed and launched successfully before it can be debugged with PowerServer Debugger, because:
-
The application executable (more exactly, the PBD files) will be debugged by the PowerServer Debugger, therefore, if you have changed the application scripts, make sure to deploy the application again immediately, so that the scripts in the PBD files exactly match with the scripts in the painter.
-
When you insert breakpoints in the scripts in the painter, the breakpoints will be mapped to the corresponding scripts in the PBD files.
-
Whether to debug the project as 32-bit or 64-bit should be configured in the platform setting in the PowerServer project painter > Build page > Basic tab before the project is deployed.
-
It is recommended that you launch the application before starting PowerServer Debugger, so that the cloud app launcher can be downloaded and installed. If the cloud app launcher is not installed, PowerServer Debugger will open the browser for you to install the cloud app launcher first.
