The DebugMessage Activity writes a string to the UBIK® debugging service, which is i.e. displayed in the Code- and Workflow Debugger.

[edit]

Description

Debug Message
Name DebugMessage
Purpose Output a string to the debug window
Category Debugging
Returns True if successful
Version 2.1+

Arguments

Argument Type Direction Purpose
UBIKObject BaseClass In A UBIK object
Text String In The string to be written to the debugging service
Result Boolean Out Returns True on success, false on error

Usage

This activity is typically used to output debug information like variable values, object properties etc. during the execution of a workflow.

IC Hint square.pngOnce your workflow runs smoothly, consider removing the DebugActivities you used during design. They are lean but they still consume resources!

Example

Output the number of MetaClasses that derive (direct and indirect) from the MetaClass of a given object:

Argument Value
UBIKObject Connect this argument with a variable
Text
UBIKObject.MetaClass.AllDerivates.Count.ToString()
