Hi everyone,

I am following guide to create new custom REST endpoint, but I have problem on debug my code in local.
How I can debug python code local.
Currently, I am using Splunk Docker and mount local app to Splunk container. After every time changed code, I must refresh debug on Splunk. It is very taken time.
Does everyone have other way to debug python code on Splunk.

Thank.

thank @richgalloway  for your suggestion, but how can I check which line error is in my code? Normally, I use to debug on python but with Splunk, It is very hard. Actually, I am using a logger to check which line of code error

Visual Studio Code lets you step through your code line-by-line so you can see where the errors are.
