Hi,
While working with large workflows, encompassing sometimes close to or more than 1.000 nodes, the output in the console can be overwhelming. Filtering for types of logs like it’s possible in the Developer Console of the browser, is not possible in Knime.
Thinking about this I had a few ideas like:
- Selecting nodes to only display / filter or log their respective outputs
- Create a separate console object, i.e. via a dedicated start/stop nodes, to log everything in between
- Create a node to log a message i.e. with flow variables or an excerpt of a table
- Provide filter options i.e. for log level, node type, node address, log message and link the node address to allow to jump to the node in question like in the screenshot above the call stack
- Provide deprecation warnings like they are present in browsers
- Improve console structure by introducing tabs behind the node address to improve readability of the message
I also noticed but never found anything about the “Debug Shell”. Though, it throws an error but since I cannot find anything I do not know how to use / set it up in the first place.
