Introducing Debug Tools: Quickly find and fix errors in your Retool apps

Retool has launched Debug Tools to enhance error investigation and debugging in its apps, now available for all cloud users and soon for on-premise versions. These tools offer developers a detailed view akin to Chrome DevTools, allowing them to trace data flow, identify component dependencies, and reproduce errors in the user experience. Accessible via a bug icon or keyboard shortcut, Debug Tools provide editors and admins with comprehensive error logs, stack traces, and the ability to run JavaScript directly from the Console tab to inspect app properties or execute API methods. The Timeline tab visualizes query runs to aid in debugging, while the State tab displays property dependencies, making it easier to understand why queries are triggered. Additionally, the Linting tab highlights JavaScript errors, facilitating direct access to problematic code sections. Early adopters have praised the tools for simplifying the debugging process within the browser environment, and further details are available in Retool's documentation.
