How to debug crm online plugin?

Posted on by Community Member

I have dynamic crm online setup where I have a workflow attached with a plugin. It works when new account is created. But I am not getting appropriate result, so I need to debug the plugin code. I have open the code in vs2015 and Plugin Registration Tool. I don't want to use Profile to debug it because I can't see Profile Start button when installed the profile. Has any alternative way to debug my plugin's code?

Hi,

For CRM Online, you need to use Plugin Profiler to debug the plugin. I would suggest to uninstall and install the Profiler again and see if it works. You can refer below-

Hope this helps.

Hi Shahriat,

Try to reconnect plugin registration tool after profiler got installed , you should see the start profiling button. In addition you can try to download latest SDK and open plugin registration tool from there .

I can see debugging using profiler needs to have exception or log file but I don't have any error. I only just want to debug the code while account create event occurred. What should be the workaround on it?

Hi,

This is not the correct understanding. When you start profiling, the profiler will automatically give you the error log file which you need to upload while debugging. Please follow the shared blog/ video.

It is straight forward and once you are able to make it work, you will love it :).

Hope this helps.

Hi Shahriat Hossain,

Please do use tracing service inside your coding. It could be helpful for you.

Hi Shahriat Hossain,

Start Profiling option is available for plugin step not for assembly or plugin .If there is step not visible then you have to register new step to plugin on message like create,update etc.If you want to debug custom activity(workflow) then you need to perform different steps. use following blog that will help you for workflow debugging.
