Debugging

As of version 0.4.0, debugging is on by default. Rave, itself, is always in "debug mode" until bundled for production. To ensure that rave extensions also turn on debugging by default, rave sets the "debug" environment property to true. You can turn off debugging for extensions by modifying or adding a rave env property with the value false in your bower.json or package.json metadata file. See the next section.

Fine-grained debugging

Most rave extensions and third-party, RaveJS-aware packages have additional debug settings. These are typically turned on or off with an additional rave env property. For instance, the following snippet of a metadata file will turn off debugging for everything except for wire:

{
"rave": {
	"env": {
		"debug": false,
		"wire": {
			"debug": true
		}
	}
}
}

Insight into rave at run time

Rave creates a global rave function that exposes REPL-like commands in your browser's debugging console.
