30\title Debugging QML
31
32\section1 Logging
33
34\c console.log can be used to print debugging information to the console. For example:
35
36\qml
37Rectangle {
38 width: 200; height: 200
39 MouseArea {
40 anchors.fill: parent
41 onClicked: console.log("clicked")
42 }
43}
44\endqml
45
46\section1 Debugging Transitions
47
48When a transition doesn't look quite right, it can be helpful to view it in slow
49motion to see what is happening more clearly. This functionality is supported
50in the \l {QML Viewer} tool: to enable this,
51click on the "Debugging" menu, then "Slow Down Animations".
52
53
54\section1 Debugging module imports
55
56The \c QML_IMPORT_TRACE environment variable can be set to enable debug output
57from QML's import loading mechanisms.
58
59For example, for a simple QML file like this:
60
61\qml
62import QtQuick 1.0
63
64Rectangle { width: 100; height: 100 }
65\endqml
66
67If you set \c {QML_IMPORT_TRACE=1} before running the \l {QML Viewer}
68(or your QML C++ application), you will see output similar to this:
69
70\code
71QDeclarativeImportDatabase::addImportPath "/qt-sdk/imports"
72QDeclarativeImportDatabase::addImportPath "/qt-sdk/bin/QMLViewer.app/Contents/MacOS"
73QDeclarativeImportDatabase::addToImport 0x106237370 "." -1.-1 File as ""
74QDeclarativeImportDatabase::addToImport 0x106237370 "Qt" 4.7 Library as ""
75QDeclarativeImportDatabase::resolveType "Rectangle" = "QDeclarativeRectangle"
76\endcode

79\section1 Debugging with Qt Creator
80
81\l{http://qt.nokia.com/products/developer-tools}{Qt Creator} provides built-in
82support for QML debugging. QML projects and standalone C++ applications that
83utilize QML can be debugged on desktops as well as on remote devices.
84For more information, see the Qt Creator Manual.
