One thing I forgot to mention that I should have is that it is in your best interest as a developer to learn the order of execution of events in Salesforce. This is super critical to understand and reference. Otherwise you can get really confused while debugging. Here is a link that outlines that chain of events: developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/apex_triggers_order_of_execution.htm

Really very useful and detail debugging information, I do mostly similar way but you're very detailed and clear. Thanks for sharing. Note: in Salesforce industry people often say, you don't any programming background but I'm sure without that base they can't debug properly and will be blind folded.

Thanks for the tutorial Matt, this is really well done ❤. I have a question though, does VS code have "Go to Declaration and Usage?" I tried the "Go to Definition" one but it did not really bring me to the apex class that defines the method. Or am I missing something? Sorry I'm just new to this.

Hey, Really interesting video and fully agree. Nothing makes you look so competent as when you solve a complex bug. One thought I had. Do you think it would make sense to use Execution Overview to understand what part of the code is performing a DML. For instance, setting contact name on the Subject field on a task?

Can you show me how to debug variables?

What if my LWC's are in experience builder? i don't see those files in Sources there

@CodingWithTheForce Жыл бұрын

They should still be there but they are in a different folder. You do have to be in builder mode however I believe. It’s been a couple months since I’ve done community work. If I get some time I’ll try and go back and find the exact folder for you.

Which IDE you are using? Is it paid? @codingWithTheForce

Fflib apex common library creating so many layers of abstraction is surely making it harder for debugging. What I feel by learning is we can make the service classes representing as a specific business workflow and the end, in case of lightning components.
