Developer Console User Interface: Logs, Tests, and Problems Panel
The lower panel in the Developer Console includes a collection of useful tabs.
- The Progress tab displays all asynchronous requests in real time. To see only the operations that are in progress, select Hide Finished Runs. To terminate any deployments that haven’t finished, click Cancel All Deployments. When you terminate a deployment, a residual polling thread appears in the Progress tab with a short delay. Partial deployments are not possible. To clear the polling task immediately, refresh the Developer Console.
- The Problems tab shows the details of compilation errors in the Source Code Editor. Changes you make are compiled and validated in the background. While you’re editing code, an error indicator displays beside lines that contain errors. Click a row in the Problems tab to jump to the line of code that caused the error.
