How to Debug Pipeline and Activity in Azure Data Factory

 

Azure Data Factory and Synapse Analytics supports iterative development and debugging of pipelines. These features allow you to test your changes before creating a pull request or publishing them to the service. As you author using the pipeline canvas, you can test your activities using the Debug capability. When you do test runs, you don't have to publish your changes to the service before you select Debug. This feature is helpful in scenarios where you want to make sure that the changes work as expected before you update the workflow. The service allows for you to debug a pipeline until you reach a particular activity on the pipeline canvas. Put a breakpoint on the activity until which you want to test, and select Debug. The service ensures that the test runs only until the breakpoint activity on the pipeline canvas. This Debug Until feature is useful when you don't want to test the entire pipeline, but only a subset of activities inside the pipeline.
