Building a Debugger for Fluid

Ideas

  • Error rendering macro 'jira' : Unable to locate Jira server for this macro. It may be due to Application Link configuration.
  • Present the fluid.activityTrace
  • Faceting search/filter for activities
  • Use colours to distinguish event types
  • A mechanism to navigate to the instantiator record for a component
  • An interface to explore or ask questions about the history of a component

Fluid Debug Internals

  • message
  • args
  • time
