How to fix the page for easy debugging?

[Tongzhao9417]

Hi! I'm a beginner for jsPsych. I have a question about debugging. For example, I need to add CSS to a page that is on the 5th trial. So every time I save it, the page will refresh and I need to keep clicking until I reach the 5th page. Is there any way for me to stay on this page without moving?

well, I found a way to easy debugging: use jspsych-builder and modulized the code^

Hi @Tongzhao9417,
for quick tests, I typically comment out the lines that add the trials I'd like to skip (say the first four trials) to my timeline array when testing. For more advanced stuff, you can also use jsPsych's simulation mode to simulate some trials and leave out the ones you'd like to debug.
