Is there a way to debug an expression field in a resource?

I have a expression field that is not doing what I want. To find out what I am doing wrong I am trying to use a debug() to find how is reading the variables, but this does not execute any debugging.

Is this normal or how can I do this?

Software Version:

FlexSim 23.0.4

resources debug expression field

Hey @Julio R, debug() should work within a list's properties/expressions. Did you add the debug command as a line in your expression? I suggest breaking up that equation into different lines so you can see the values as they get evaluated.

debug();
double PosicionOrigen = puller.PosicionOrigen;
double PosicionActual = value.PosicionActual;
double MaxPosicion = Math.max(PosicionOrigen, PosicionActual);
double MinPosicion = Math.min(PosicionOrigen, PosicionActual);

double CantNodos = (MaxPosicion - MinPosicion + 1);
return CantNodos;

Make sure you hit Apply on the code editor AND on the List Properties.
