# Debug Tips

Now that we have many requests in our test file, let's review some tips on how to debug the executed HTTP exchanges.

## Verbose Mode

### Using --verbose and --very-verbose for all entries

We can run our test with [`-v/--verbose` option]. In this mode, each entry is displayed with debugging
information like request HTTP headers, response HTTP headers, cookie storage, duration etc...

```shell
$ hurl --verbose --no-output basic.hurl

Lines beginning with `*` are debug info, lines that begin with `>` are HTTP request headers and lines that begin with
`<` are HTTP response headers.

In verbose mode, HTTP request and response bodies are not displayed in the debug logs. If you need to inspect the 
request or response body, you can display more logs with [`--very-verbose`] option:

```shell
$ hurl --very-verbose --no-output basic.hurl

### Debugging a specific entry

If you have a lot of entries (request / response pairs) in your Hurl file, using [`--verbose`] or [`--very-verbose`]
can produce a lot of logs and can be difficult to analyse. Instead of passing options to the command line, you can
use an `[Options]` section that will activate logs only for the specified entry:

```hurl
# Checking our home page:
# ...

# Check that we have a 404 response for broken links:
# ...

# Check our health API:
# ...

# Check question API:
GET http://localhost:8080/api/questions
# You can pass options to this entry only
[Options]
verbose: true
[QueryStringParams]
offset: 0
size: 20
sort: oldest

HTTP 200
# ...
```

And run it without [`--verbose`] option:

```shell
$ hurl --no-output basic.hurl
[1;34m*[0m [1m------------------------------------------------------------------------------[0m

## Interactive Mode

We can run the whole Hurl file request by request, with the [`--interactive` option]:

```shell
[1;34m*[0m [1mOptions:[0m
[1;34m*[0m     fail fast: true
[1;34m*[0m     insecure: false
[1;34m*[0m     follow redirect: false
[1;34m*[0m     max redirect: 50

Interactive mode:

Press Q (Quit) or C (Continue)

## Include Headers Like curl

We can also run our file to only output HTTP headers, with [`-i/--include` option].
In this mode, headers of the last entry are displayed:

```shell
$ hurl -i basic.hurl
[1;32mHTTP/1.1 200
[0m[1;36mSet-Cookie[0m: JSESSIONID=76984131F0D0821C4A8D5CB3FC27CD3B; Path=/; HttpOnly
[1;36mX-Content-Type-Options[0m: nosniff
[1;36mX-XSS-Protection[0m: 1; mode=block
[1;36mCache-Control[0m: no-cache, no-store, max-age=0, must-revalidate
[1;36mPragma[0m: no-cache
[1;36mExpires[0m: 0
[1;36mX-Frame-Options[0m: DENY
[1;36mContent-Type[0m: application/json
[1;36mTransfer-Encoding[0m: chunked
[1;36mDate[0m: Fri, 13 Jan 2023 12:49:47 GMT

{"status":"RUNNING","reportedDate":"2023-01-13T13:49:47+01:00","healthy":true,"operationId":3183000623}
```

If you want to inspect any entry other than the last one, you can run your test to a
given entry with the [`--to-entry` option], starting at index 1:

```shell
$ hurl -i --to-entry 2 basic.hurl
[1;32mHTTP/1.1 404
[0m[1;36mVary[0m: Origin

## Using a Proxy

Finally, you can use a proxy between Hurl and your server to inspect requests and responses.

For instance, with [mitmproxy]:

1. First, launch mitmproxy, it will listen to connections on 8888 port

    ```shell
$ mitmweb -p 8888 --web-port 8889 --web-open-browser
Web server listening at http://127.0.0.1:8889/
Proxy server listening at http://*:8888
    ```

2. Then, run Hurl with [`-x/--proxy` option]

    ```shell
$ hurl --proxy localhost:8888 basic.hurl
    ```
