Pause Loop Execution Conditionally / Programmatically

[takbb]

Hi @mwiegand , I’ve also run into this situation in the past, which you may also be interested in.

My solution was using a Java node in a “breakpoint” component and a disconnected “controller component” day tells it when to break.

Debugging Large Loops with Breakpoints

@iCFO , sly here I know how you enjoy components! [image] [image] [image] It slows the loop down a bit of course, but this is to be expected when debugging, and the impact is obviously less significant overall if each iteration of the loop is already quite processing-intensive. Probably the biggest impact on performance is the functionality it contains for configuration (such as choosing the iteration flow variable). Unfortunately the config stuff all gets e…

I’ve actually been putting together a video demonstration of this which I plan to upload at some point.
