You have a chain with multiple steps and want to find which step causes failure. What is the best debugging approach?
ARemove all steps except the last one
BRun the entire chain repeatedly until it succeeds
CDisable logging to speed up execution
DRun each step individually with test inputs to isolate the error
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Understand the need to isolate failing step

    Running steps individually helps identify exactly where the failure occurs.

  2. Step 2: Test each step with controlled inputs

    This method narrows down the problem to a specific step for focused debugging.

  3. Final Answer:

    Run each step individually with test inputs to isolate the error -> Option D

  4. Quick Check:

    Isolate failure by testing steps separately = C [OK]
Quick Trick: Test steps one by one to find the failing part [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Blindly rerunning full chain
  • Removing steps without reason
  • Disabling logs hides info
