how to debug appwrite function locally?

Yes correct,

I want to test it from postman

Without deploy to server

And debug locally

Honestly, I usually just push my Function to Appwrite and run, then fix and push again, etc. Pushing Functions to Appwrite is so simple and fast that I don’t really see the point in attempting to run outside Appwrite, where you won’t be in exactly the same environment you’ll be in in production.

If you do really want to run the Functions locally, I can explain how to - what runtime?

I think you are not able to test it via postman without deploying at least not that easy, yet you can basically remove context from your function and run it like normal script and add your own debug logs instead of context logs.

It is possible, just probably unnecessarily complicated

@ropi95 It's pretty easy, you can run any runtime server and export your functionality.

Then you can test your function through postman.

Sorry, could you please explain what you mean by this?

It's the middle of the night right now, tomorrow morning I'll do an approximate project and show you.

Just wondering what you mean by “run a runtime server”

And “export your functionality”

you can debug your code, use breakpoints.

open via vscode, run code

don't forget to add header
x-open-runtimes-secret

this fully meets the requirements of the runtime

but I'm seeing some problems with the BUN, you can use other runtimes.

we discuss the problem here https://discord.com/channels/564160730845151244/1191788381999468685

breakpoint

I don’t see where you’re exposing a web server here?

sorry check now, i added server

You got that from here, right?

But while this would be ok for basic debugging, you’re still not in the same environment you’ll be in when you ultimately deploy to Appwrite. If you’re going to do this locally, I’d say it would be better to spin up the correct open-runtimes container, and build exactly like Appwrite would.
