Debugging the CEF

While using the Alteryx HTML GUI SDK, you can take advantage of the Chrome Developer Tools to debug the interface of your tool.

To enable Chrome Developer Tools:

1. Type regedit.exe in the command prompt, or search from the Start menu, to open the Registry Editor.
2. Browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SRC\Alteryx.
3. Right-click the folder, point to New, and click Key.
4. Type DebugGui.
5. Right-click the default value and click Modify.
6. Type 1 in Value data and click OK.
7. Restart Alteryx Designer.
8. In the main menu, click Debug and select Show CEF Developer Tools.

The Alteryx CEF DevTools window automatically opens when you select a tool or window that uses the Chrome Embedded Framework.
