Debugging Your Application
You can begin debugging once your application has been instrumented with Cloud Debugger and breakpoints have been established. Take these actions:
Step 1: Deploy your application
Make sure your instrumented application is up and functioning before deploying it to GCP.
Step 2: Start a debugging session
Select your project and application from the dropdown menus on the Debugger page of the Cloud Console. To start a debugging session, click the “Start debugging” button.
Step 3: Inspect variables and stack traces
The Cloud Debugger will halt the execution of your application when a breakpoint is reached. The stack trace can then be explored, variables’ current states examined, and other pertinent data can be examined to comprehend how the application behaves.
Step 4: Modify code and resume execution
Debugging may reveal problems that call for modifying the code. Direct edits can be made in the source view of the Cloud Console, and execution can be resumed to see the results of your changes.
How to Use Cloud Debugger For Debugging Applications On GCP?
Application debugging is a crucial step in the development process since it enables developers to quickly find and fix problems. Developers can debug their applications running on the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) with the help of a potent tool called Cloud Debugger without interfering with their regular operation. In this article, we’ll examine Cloud Debugger’s capabilities and offer a detailed tutorial on how to utilize it.
