Debugging scripts

In IBM RPA Studio, you can run scripts in debug mode to control the bots' operation, test commands, watch and change variables during runtime.

• The Debugging section on the Home tab
  The Debugging section on the Home tab of IBM RPA Studio is where you find the options to start debugging your scripts.

• Start options
  There are three options when running scripts in IBM RPA Studio: start debugging, start without debugging, start step by step.

• The debugging mode tabs
  When you run a script in debugging mode, new tabs load on IBM RPA Studio with tools for debugging the script.

• Backup files to store script changes
  Learn more about .wad files. The IBM RPA Studio creates these files automatically to store watch variables and lines of the script that have breakpoints.

• Adding a breakpoint to the script
  Learn how to add a breakpoint to the script. Breakpoints are markers to pause the bot's operation for debugging during runtime in IBM RPA Studio.

• Debugging a script at run time in a remote computer
  Learn how to debug a bot's script while the bot is running on a remote computer.

• Debugging a scheduled script
