New page

The Code- and Workflow Debugger (aka Who-Bert) is a tool primarily meant for testing, tracing and debugging. It is able to execute C# code on the fly and can also be used to run and trace [[Workflow|workflows]].

==Toolbar==
{| class="wikitable" | width = "50%"

! Item !! Purpose
|- align="left"
| Run || Runs the code or workflow synchronously (in the main thread); execution will block the debugger until it is finished
|- align="left"
| Run async || Runs the code or workflow asynchronously (in a separate thread); execution will happen in the background and the debugger will not be blocked
|}

==Parameter section==
===Input parameters===
A list of input parameters to the code or workflow is located in the top left corner of the debugger. This list will be passed as
* Code: a parameter array to the method ''TestObject'' of all ''Value''s in the list, named ''InVariables''
* Workflow: a dictionary of InArguments (string, object) where each ''Parameter'' in the list is the key and each ''Value'' is the value
{{Hint|The default workflow (emtpy canvas) always expects an InArgument named UBIKObject (and therefore an input parameter named accordingly), its value can be null though if you don't need it}}

Simply start typing in a new cell of the Parameter column to create a new parameter and assign a value by either typing in the Value cell (i.e. for passing a string) or Drag&Drop an object from a [[Category:UBIK Studio Controls|{{UBIK}} Control]] to pass an object to the code or workflow.

===Output parameters===
A list of output parameters returned by the workflow as a dictionary of OutArguments (string, object). If the workflow doesn't return anything this list will stay empty.

+==Output & Debug section==
 The output section is a tab page on the bottom of the debugger and displays messages from either the C# compiler or the workflow engine. New messages will always be added to the end and the debugger does never clear messages on its own. If you want to get rid of historical messages simply enter the output section and use {{Key press|Del}} to delete text.
