Script Debugger

Intellij SFCC connects the IDE's debugger to the SFCC Script Debugger API of your instance. Set a breakpoint in a controller, script or hook, load the page in a browser and the IDE stops on that line with the call stack and live variables of the request

Before you start

Start a session

server.append('Show', function (req, res, next) {
    var viewData = res.getViewData(); // set a breakpoint here
    viewData.loyaltyTier = req.currentCustomer.raw.profile.custom.loyaltyTier;
    res.setViewData(viewData);
    next();
});

Open https://<host>/on/demandware.store/Sites-RefArch-Site/default/Account-Show and the session stops on the breakpoint

While paused

What the debugger doesn't do

The SFCC Script Debugger API is simpler than a local debugger, and some IDE controls do nothing or are missing:

• Pause is disabled. Set a breakpoint to stop code
• Breakpoint conditions aren't sent to the instance, so a conditional breakpoint stops every time
• A breakpoint with Suspend turned off works, but Evaluate and log doesn't print anything
• There are no exception breakpoints
• Run to Cursor steps over one line instead of running to the cursor
• TypeScript sources aren't mapped. Set breakpoints in the transpiled JavaScript that is uploaded
• The configuration has no gutter shortcut. Start it from the run widget or Run › Debug
