Graph Debugger

[josvanroosmalen]

It would be nice to have a "graph debugger".

Implementation idea.

• Run preview
• When you close the preview window you can hoover over the nodes, and see the input/output values of the node of the last run.
• In case of a crash (in the previewer) it should still be possible to view the input/outputs of the evaluated nodes prior to the crash.

I am not sure it is possible to capture the setOutputData values so that it later can be displayed in tooltips.

Hi @josvanroosmalen, other than it would be nice (which I agree), any other reasons for the debugger?

Which problem/difficulty/challenge is the ticket addressing?

Could you rephrase it to the following format: "As a Pipes user, I'd like to be able to see input/out values of each block in the graph (for a given custom step input document) so that I can better understand why the graph is producing a certain result"? Or something similar...
