Debug Dataweave in MuleSoft

Dataweave is the most used activity in MuleSoft integration and it’s too much of time to come up with a correct dataweave. With this post we like to highlight how quickly you can debug and test your dataweave in MuleSoft

Let’s start with debugging dataweave in MuleSoft applicaiton

if we have to test the below dataweave for input payload [1,2,3,4,5]

Add a breakpoint on transformation activity

Run the application in debug mode and call the api

Click on watch expression window and pin it, so that it will not close when u move to other window.

Now we have to make the dataweave text in single line to test it

Copy dataweave and paste in Notepad++

Select the text and press CTRL + J – this will remove the new line character from the text

Copy and test the expression in expression window to see the result

If u feel you have to change in dataweave then go back to Notepad++ and press CTRL + Z to undo the hide new line. Make the necessary change and retest in your expression window.

Hope this will help 🙂
