I've been learning about my new Hubitat environment for some time now, and I'd like to explore it further by creating applications and drivers. However, I find that there's a serious lack of a step-by-step debugging tool. Has the product development team been working on this, or have they considered creating an API to integrate it into another IDE like MS Visual Studio? This would be a big step towards the future and could further propel the Hubitat hub.
I know that many people are concerned about such an addition for having read several topics on this subject.
Have you read this topic?
As to step-by-step debugging, no, it's not supported. Debugging is done by inserting:
log.debug "show me a variable: $variable"
at the important places in the code.
