Posted on by 129

I am trying to debug a custom activity that another party wrote and I have the source code for. I have the profile setup up but when I try to profiel the workfow the step appears but is not selectable. I have attached a screenshot. Anyone know what is wrong here?

    Hello,

    What happens if you uncheck the option "active profiled workflow" ? Does it allow to select the step ? 

    As per below article - when you select the step and start profiling, it should select the step automatically -

    Hi

    As I hope you can see the "OK" button is greyed out too. Unselecting the "active profiled workflow" has no effect either.

    Can you try upgrading PRT to latest build and see if it helps ?

    In order to debug your custom workflow activity, you need to add a dummy parameter and you need to set a value (in the workflow) step when you call it:

     [Input("Dummy for profiler")]

     [Default("Dummy for profiler")]

     public InArgument<string> DummyArgument { get; set; }
