Re: [xsl] Do you run your XSLT code from a debugger? What debugger do you use?

["Eliot Kimber eliot.kimber@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Im with MartinI find the XSLT debugger in Oxygen to be less useful than for
other languages. This may in part be because I do a lot of my work in DITA
Open Toolkit which doesnt lend itself to easy debugging but I also get a lot
of mileage out of using messages to see whats happening where.

This is also true for my work with XQuery, whether in BaseX or MarkLogicI
find it effective to just use messages to debug my code.

Cheers,

E.

Sometimes I (need to/tend to) use the debugger in oXygen.

But often, I try to find my way around with adding e.g. xsl:message or
<debug><xsl:sequence select=".."/></debug>.

Even now more than previously as I often run XSLT 3 through SaxonJS,
where I don't know of a debugger.
