traceDelay

Used by the debugger to specify how long to wait between lines when a handler is being traced.

# Syntax

set the traceDelay to milliseconds

# Examples

set the traceDelay to 1000 -- 1 second between steps

# Description

Use the traceDelay property to make tracing faster or slower.

When a handler is traced, each line is executed, after the delay specified in the traceDelay property. Using the debugger, you can trace a handler slowly while watching the order in which lines are execute and the value of variables as they change, in order to track down any errors in the handler. Increasing the traceDelay causes the trace to take place more slowly, giving you more time to interpret the situation as the handler is traced. Decreasing the traceDelay speeds up tracing, which can be useful when debug long handlers.

If the debugger is not active, this property has no effect.

>*Important:* This property may change or be removed in future > releases.
