Debugging errors in Ember.js can be done using various tools and techniques. Here are some steps you can follow to properly debug errors in Ember.js:

  1. Use Ember Inspector: Ember Inspector is a browser extension that allows you to inspect and debug Ember applications. You can use this tool to track down errors, view the current state of your application, and monitor the Ember data store.
  2. Enable debugging mode: You can enable debugging mode in Ember by setting ENV.APP.LOG_ACTIVE_GENERATION and ENV.APP.LOG_TRANSITIONS to true in your config/environment.js file. This will log additional information to the console, helping you to track down errors.
  3. Check the console: The browser console is your best friend when it comes to debugging JavaScript errors. Check the console for any error messages or warnings that might give you a clue about what went wrong.
  4. Use breakpoints: You can use breakpoints in your code to pause the execution and inspect the state of your application at a certain point. This can help you identify the source of the error and understand what is causing it.
  5. Check the Ember Data store: If you are working with Ember Data, you can use the Ember Data tab in Ember Inspector to view the state of your data store and track down any issues with data retrieval or manipulation.
  6. Use logging and console statements: Insert logging and console statements in your code to track the flow of execution and monitor the values of variables. This can help you identify the point where things are going wrong.
  7. Use Ember CLI: If you are using Ember CLI to build and manage your Ember application, you can run ember serve --environment=development to start the development server with debugging enabled. This will log additional information to the console and help you track down errors.


By following these steps and using the tools available in Ember.js, you should be able to effectively debug errors in your Ember application and resolve them quickly.
