5.3.19 Procedure for changing plug-in return values during debugging

You can change the return value of a plug-in during debugging. By changing the return value to an arbitrary value after executing or skipping plug-in processing, you can see how different return values affect aspects of the task. This includes the status transitions of steps and tasks, processing of subsequent steps, and flow transitions influenced by the subsequent-step execution condition.

Note that you can only change return values if Interrupt After Each Step is selected as the break setting.

The method of changing the return value differs according to whether plug-in processing is executed or skipped.

To change the return value during debugging (when executing plug-in processing):

1. In the Flow view, select a step that is in Interrupted status.

2. In the Debug view, select Execute the plug-in processing from the Execution Settings list box.

3. Select the Interrupt after the plug-in processing check box.

4. Click Rerun.

   The step is paused after the plug-in processing is executed.

5. In the Debug view, specify the desired return value in the Return Value text box.

6. Click Rerun.

To change the return value during debugging (when skipping plug-in processing):

1. In the Flow view, select a step that is in Interrupted status.

2. In the Debug view, select Do not execute the plug-in processing from the Execution Settings list box.

3. In the Debug view, specify the desired return value in the Return Value text box.

4. Click Rerun.
