AppMap helps you investigate, document and fix bugs faster. Now you can record and share interactive graphs of complex, backend bugs from your code editor without needing to write test cases or custom code! Remote recording creates AppMap Data by executing the code and tracing behavior to help you find the root cause of hard-to-fix bugs.
This new feature is easy to use directly in JetBrains IDEs (IntelliJ, PyCharm, Rubymine), VSCode and via the AppMap web browser extensions for AppMap. No more having to leave your code editor to record. And no more relying on programmatic methods for starting/stopping your recording.
Install AppMap with the remote recording feature included from the JetBrains or VSCode marketplaces.
Check out this quick, 1 minute video demoing our new remote recording feature in an IntelliJ Java web app:
Remote recording is one of the recording methods supported by AppMap and it involves two key steps:
- Run your application with a properly configured AppMap agent
- Start and stop AppMap recording remotely with REST endpoints that the agent injects into the running application’s web stack
The new remote recording controls in your favorite code editor now include clear start/stop buttons and a running recording session indicator. AppMap files are also conveniently saved in your local project folders.
