Debugging PowerServer 2021 Apps

on YouTube ↗39m

" summary

PowerServer 2021 debugging uses concrete tools and artifacts: Fiddler proxy captures HTTP/HTTPS and decodes JSON sessions to show each REST call, headers, status and elapsed ms; SnapDevelop runs the .NET server API for step‑through debugging or the API can run in Docker as deployed. Logs include deployment log, unsupported feature report, web api request log and power server log and pb.ini can produce a full API log dump. Real bugs shown: Oracle number(18,4) mapping loses decimals causing DataStore update failures, and computed SELECT columns without an alias return empty column values and crash the client.
