Unable to Debug in Firefox
Question

Hi everyone,

I'm having an issue debugging my OutSystems application in Firefox. The debugger doesn't stop at breakpoints—it just continues running as if the breakpoints don't exist.

Has anyone experienced the same issue? If so, were you able to resolve it?

If you've found a solution or any workaround, I'd really appreciate it if you could share it.

Thank you!

Hello Mohamed

Could you explain better what you are debugging?
Is it O11 or ODC? Are you debugging server-side or client-side?

As far as I know (unless there is something new that I didn't see), client-side debugging is possible only on Chrome/Edge, not on Firefox.

Server-side debugging "should" work if the interface is loaded in any browser (I've never really tested it).

Cheers!

EDIT:

If you are debugging server-side, this may happen if we add breakpoints to code that we forgot to publish, or if someone else published the module/app, making changes to the same code, and we didn't reload the module/app in the studio.

EDIT 2:
Tested it and server-side debugging works on Firefox.

Hello.

OutSystems debugger was built for Chrome as you can read in the documentation. I think it connects with Chrome DevTools Protocol, but never explored that topic.

Edge is also a Chromium-based browser so it should work, but Chrome is the sure option.

Try this:

  • Console for JavaScript errors
  • Debugger add breakpoints to JavaScript loaded by the page.
  • Network inspect requests, responses, payloads and failed calls.
  • Inspector analyse the generated HTML and CSS.

Enable Persist Logs in the Network tab if the issue happens during navigation or page refresh. OutSystems also documents Firefox DevTools as a valid way to capture network/HAR information. 

In OutSystems the only thing you can debug is the server side requests.
