Simple document viewer during testing

I was wondering if there is a simple way of viewing documents made it down a certain path during testing of a pipeline. I know that I can view how many documents flow in and out of a Snap using the statistics viewer, but I’d like to actually see the documents. Is there a quick file writer or something like that that could help? Is it possible to stop a pipeline at a certain step for debugging purposes?

It works on a subset of data (default is 50 documents, but configurable to some degree by the admin), so if the data is changing, what displays in preview will change as well.

As for stopping a pipeline, you should be able to edit a Snap and set Snap execution to Disabled which would stop the pipeline at that Snap (assuming a linear pipeline).

The preview doc count can be changed in user settings in the designer.

Disabling a snap, will disable all connected downstream snaps.

Thanks @cjhoward18, I was just about to correct that.

Oooo. Now that will be very useful. I’ll give that a try.

There are some tips on using the Disable Snap functionality in the documentation: Iterative Development of Pipelines Using Disabled Snaps
