Like most of us, I do a lot of debugging with logging statements: console.log(“I got to this point!”)
Suddenly, in just the last week, logging from back-end code no longer appears in the Developer Console. I save the site, enter Preview, and open the Developer Console down below. I see console logging from the front end pages, but not from back end code in http-functions.js. I know that I’ve passed through console logging statements because I see the results I expect, and the logging does appear in Site Monitoring>Site Events in the dashboard. Is there some setting that somehow inhibits these messages from the back end only?
One other thing: I didn’t realize that my site was active in Preview mode even when I’m not in preview mode. If I’m in the editor and have not entered Preview mode, then trigger my back-end code (with POST requests from the outside) the code runs exactly as though I were in Preview mode: databases are updated, etc. The “sandbox” version of databases, etc. Presumably it’s running the most recently saved code, because I’m actively editing the code at the time! Is it the intended behavior that the back end is live even before you enter Preview mode?
