Testing & Debugging

Information about testing and package assembly

Test Mode Features:

  • In test mode, you can't run already compiled packages.
  • In test mode, you can't add items to your favorites.
  • The mode is complete and shows everything as it will be in the release package.
  • To display the package header (image) in test mode: Place the header image in the folder containing the package's .ATOM file. The image name should be: custom_header_name.png (.PNG filetype).

Test Mode

Test mode allows you to run your package before compiling and debug it.

To launch test mode, open the extension and click the three lines → Test Mode.

Find your package and drag & drop into the extension.

The package will automatically run without installation.

If the JSON structure is corrupted, an error will appear.

Refresh Content

To see changes after editing your package file (.ATOM) - whether changes to the package structure or elements - click the Refresh button.

There is also a Disable button nearby that will allow you to exit testing mode.

Don't forget to save the package file (after making changes) and only then click the Refresh button.

Dev Panel

The Developer Panel allows you to use certain actions during the package development process.

To launch dev panel, open the extension and click the three lines → Dev Panel.

Debugging

If for some reason you have damaged the JSON structure of your package, you can restore it using an online JSON parser.

Remember that JSON has a strict structure—don't forget commas between objects, and don't leave commas if there's nothing after the object. Click here to read more about JSON.
