Answer 6

Debugging is quite simple in interface.

For Programmers

By Default when you login to openerp, your url will look something like this

http://localhost:7373/?db=Test_July_25#menu_id=107&action=97

Edit the url and add debug=&

localhost:7373/?debug=&db=Test_July_25#menu_id=107&action=97

For Functional Users

• Navigate mouse to top right corner and select About OpenERP

• Now Activate Debug Mode

You Should be done now with interface debugging.

For Code Debugging (along with arya's method these images may help you)

• You can use browse button to select the project and the openerp server file

Finally place breakpoints in your code where ever necessary
