Debugging is hell

ali_hijazi — Tue, 22 Jul 2025 17:59:49 GMT

Hello

I'm using QDF so far, my initialization script is as follows:

// InitLink.qvs Initiating Qlik Deployment Framework

SET vG.BasePath=; //Clear cache
SET vG.SharedBasePath=; //Clear cache
SET vG.RootContainer='QDF_ROOT';
set vG.HomeContainer = '6.PSA';
$(Must_Include=lib://$(vG.RootContainer)/$(vG.HomeContainer)/InitLink.qvs);

some times I need to debug my script but the debugging of the above line in red takes around 12 mins

kindly advise on how to overcome this issue

I hear you, it takes buckets of time to use the debugging feature.

The only workaround that I''ve found is not to initiate the QDF during the
debugging. It is not always possible to do, but if you don't use the QDF
SUB library then it is often an doable approach.

My recommendation is that yo do not clear the cache when doing debug, the cache means that most of the QDF initiation code is bypassed, so running the debugging in Qlik Sense becomes much faster. Hope this helps Magnus
