Ibexa Connect DevTool

Inspect and Tweak your Scenarios in Ibexa Connect at a Single Glance!

Ibexa Connect DevTool allows you to debug your Ibexa Connect scenarios in a completely new way. It adds an extra pane to the Chrome Developer Tools. Using this new debugger pane, you're able to check all the manual runs of your scenario, review all the performed operations and see the details of every API call performed. It also brings a whole bunch of new opportunities for Apps development. You're able to check every call that your app has performed. Thanks to this extension, you can easily debug your scenario, see which module, operation, even which single response causes the error, and then get your scenario back on track. Try it out and let your scenarios shine!

Source Module Select the module for which you want to retrieve metadata.

Copy mapping

Copies values from the source module to the target module.

Caution

Make sure you set the correct source and target modules. If you select a different type of module, values in the target module will be deleted.

Source Module Select the module or enter the ID of the module from which you want to copy field values.
Target Module Select the module or enter the ID of the module into which you want to insert the source module values.

Note

Values in the target module will be overwritten!

When the source and target modules are specified, click the Run button () to perform the action.

Copy filter

Preserve Fallback Route setting

If enabled and the source filter is set as the fallback route, then the target filter is also set as the fallback route.

When the source and target modules are specified, click the Run button to perform the action.

Swap connection

Duplicates a connection from the source module to every module in the scenario of the same app.

Source Module Select the module or enter the ID of the module from which you want to duplicate the connection and set the same connection for every module of the same app in your scenario.

Swap variable

Searches for specified variables in the scenario and replaces them with a new variable.

Variable to Find Select the variable pill which you want to be replaced from the module in your scenario and copy it to this (Variable to Find) field. It will then look, for example, like this: devtool_15.gif
Replace With Copy and paste, or drag and drop the variable pill you want to use instead of the variable specified above this field.
