Get started with multi-threaded debugging

Overview

This post is designed for beginners looking to dive into multi-threaded debugging.

Multi-threaded debugging is a powerful feature in Linx that simplifies debugging Services. Previously, multiple functions could not be debugged simultaneously. With this new feature, users can start and stop services during debugging, allowing them to debug various services and functions concurrently.

Getting Started

1. Download the Sample
   GraphQLServerWorkingSample.zip (39.4 KB) (Linx version 6.9.3)

The attached solution has GraphQLServer Service and a function GetBooks. The GetBooks function contains a GraphQL query that sends a query to get a list of books to the GraphQL server.

2. Solution Overview
   The solution includes the GraphQLServer Service and a function called GetBooks, which retrieves a list of books from the GraphQL server.

Steps to Use Multi-Threaded Debugging

• Step 1: Start Debugging
  Right-click on the solution and click on Debug.
  

• Step 2: Start the GraphQLServer Service
  Once the debugger is attached, right-click on the service and click Start Service.
  

  

• Step 3: Start debugging the Function
  Click on GetBooks and then click Start.
  

When you start to debug a function, a new thread is started. These threads are listed in the Thread dropdown in the toolbar at the top.
The selected item in the dropdown indicates the thread that is currently debugged.

• Step 4: Using Breakpoints
  To Add a breakpoint, select the function you want to debug and press F9 or right-click on the function and select Add a breakpoint.
  The image below shows a breakpoint inside the GetBooks function onGraphQLQuery.
  
  

Happy Debugging!
