As some of you already know, I recently became an employee of SmartThings. My job is to improve the IDE. Since I started as a community developer, I have my own list of issues that I’m hoping to improve. I would also like to hear from you about the problems you run into. If you can split individual…

Yes! I have been noticing this as well and it is driving me nuts. Debugging is a complete guessing game. Even on the rare chance that an exception is shown, there is no longer a line number for where it occurred. Aren’t more people noticing this?

Yes to that too, but I haven’t even seen an exception thrown in such a long time that I forgot to even report that. Still no improvement. Tagging @slagle to please check with the respective team to why we don’t see exception messages being thrown in the IDE.

[image] RBoy: I haven’t even seen an exception thrown IDE is totally useless for debugging now. ST said the number of errors were down, maybe this is how they control the metric?

I have a similar feeling, someone is masking the issues. If I look at logs it shows that functions are being called by the scheduler but in real life they’re either not called or they timeout which is as good as useless. End result the platform stats may look better visually. I could be wrong but I …

Can someone PLEASE get the IDE Live Logging to show the errors again, it’s frustrating trying to debug code without knowing if there’s an error or something else and where the error is. @jody.albritton @slagle requesting your assistance here

@RBoy I totally agree, spent over 2 hours last night trying to track something down that ended up being a swallowed error courtesy of the IDE (httpPost, if timeout occurs in httpPost no error is logged, catch block not executed) As far as the IDE in general goes, my feature request… get rid of the…

[image] RubenRybnik: get rid of the current IDE and use an established project like Cloud9 I too have suggested Cloud9 or at least be ambitious enough to replicate it. But SmartThings has already made significant progress into a “Command Line Interface (CLI)” which will allow offline develop…

Cool, thanks for the info on the CLI… Hopefully the development workflow will be much improved once that is up and running.

@Dianoga @slagle not sure if anyone else is seeing this, the IDE Live Logging has completely stopped working for the past hour. Not a single message from anything.

I’ve been experiencing the same problem. Noticed it about 2 hours ago. Rebooted computer, cleared browser cache, but can’t get anything in the IDE log.

This thread seems mostly dead, but just in case if this one is not already on the list of known issues : Too many missing entries in the IDE Log.
