2 minutes de lecture

If you are used to work with the developer console, you know some of the problems that can be encountered there. Today, I present to you 2 developer console tips that can help you.

1- Open entire log in the Developer Console

If you want to read an information that appears in a log, you can search the log, open it and search the information in the log. But sometimes, the string is so long (such a JSON response from a Web Service or a long text) that you cannot read it all.

Developer Console Tips

Fortunately, the developer console permits you to open the entire log by clicking on file, then Open Raw Log. And voilà.

2- Use System.assert to show value

When you use the Anonymous Window to execute a code block or function. You may need to know the value of a field or something else at a moment. To do so, you can use the System.assert method. After you click on execute, an error pop-up will show you the value you are looking for.

I hope these two tips will help you!
