Debugging SPFx Extensions

• Starting serving the files with

• No workbench, use QueryStrings when loading a page:

gulp serve --nobrowser

?loadSPFX=true

&debugManifestsFile=https://localhost:4321/temp/manifests.js

&customActions={"<id>":{"location":"ClientSideExtension.ApplicationCustomizer","properties":{}}}

&customActions={"<id>":{"location":"ClientSideExtension.ListViewCommandSet","properties":{}}}

&fieldCustomizers={"<fieldname>":{"id":"<id>","properties":{}}}

In our example it looks like this:

?loadSPFX=true&debugManifestsFile=https://localhost:4321/temp/manifests.js&customActions={"d3359529-056c-4575-aab6-ba589bc70dd2":{"location":"ClientSideExtension.ApplicationCustomizer","properties":{}}, "00ba0713-ed47-40f2-951c-d9b7dc9160c8“: {"location":"ClientSideExtension.ListViewCommandSet"}}&fieldCustomizers={"NotificationType":{"id":"ce376f8e-1bc2-467a-baa8-3b76783edabd","properties":{}}}

Things to remember

• You can combine debug QueryStrings

• Debugging typescript in Chrome dev tools => webpack(Use Ctrl + P to find the files if you can’t)

• Use ?reset=true to stop the debugging prompts
