Hi!

I want to use arcade in a separated file in order to debug it.

is it possible? if so, what file extension the script file should have?

 

Thank you all!

Tips for debugging Arcade scripts in VSCode/Node.j... - Esri Community

 

You can use external IDEs to get a nice syntax highlighting, but you probably won't be able to really debug it, since many Arcade functions (especially the FeatureSetBy*() functions) are specific to the ArcGIS environment.

For me, the best way to test and debug is either the Playground | ArcGIS Arcade | ArcGIS Developers or a testing dashboard loaded with the data I actually work with.

 


Have a great day!
