# CopilotKit Debug Mode (React)
|
|
|
|
This skill builds on `copilotkit/provider-setup`. Both debug surfaces are
|
|
props on the `CopilotKit` provider (from `@copilotkit/react-core/v2`).
|
|
|
|
Two independent knobs:
|
|
|
|
1. `showDevConsole` mounts the visual web inspector (floating panel).
|
|
2. `debug` controls console logging for the event pipeline.
|
|
|
|
Both should be `'auto'` / off in production.
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
"use client";
|
|
import { CopilotKit } from "@copilotkit/react-core/v2";
|
|
|
|
export function Providers({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
|
|
return (
|
|
<CopilotKit
|
|
runtimeUrl="/api/copilotkit"
|
|
showDevConsole="auto"
|
|
debug={{ events: true, lifecycle: true, verbose: false }}
|
|
>
|
|
{children}
|
|
</CopilotKit>
|
|
);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`showDevConsole="auto"` enables the inspector only on `localhost` and
|
|
`127.0.0.1`. In production it evaluates to `false`.
|
|
|
|
## Core Patterns
|
|
|
|
### Full payload logging during a repro
|
|
|
|
`debug: true` enables `events + lifecycle` but keeps `verbose` off to avoid
|
|
leaking PII by default. For a bug repro, explicitly set `verbose: true` to
|
|
dump full message/tool-call payloads.
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
<CopilotKit
|
|
runtimeUrl="/api/copilotkit"
|
|
debug={{ events: true, lifecycle: true, verbose: true }}
|
|
/>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Anchor the inspector on narrow viewports
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
<CopilotKit
|
|
runtimeUrl="/api/copilotkit"
|
|
showDevConsole="auto"
|
|
inspectorDefaultAnchor="bottom-left"
|
|
/>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Env-gate the inspector
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
<CopilotKit
|
|
runtimeUrl="/api/copilotkit"
|
|
showDevConsole={process.env.NODE_ENV !== "production"}
|
|
/>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Common Mistakes
|
|
|
|
### HIGH — Shipping `showDevConsole={true}` to production
|
|
|
|
Wrong:
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
<CopilotKit runtimeUrl="/api/copilotkit" showDevConsole={true} />
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Correct:
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
<CopilotKit runtimeUrl="/api/copilotkit" showDevConsole="auto" />
|
|
// "auto" enables only on localhost / 127.0.0.1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A hard `true` ships the Lit + markdown bundle to every end user and exposes
|
|
a developer panel in production. `"auto"` is the right default.

|
|
|
|
### MEDIUM — Expecting `debug: true` to log full payloads
|
|
|
|
Wrong:
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
<CopilotKit debug={true} />
|
|
// Then wondering why message contents aren't in the console
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Correct:
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
<CopilotKit debug={{ events: true, lifecycle: true, verbose: true }} />
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`debug: true` is shorthand for `{ events: true, lifecycle: true, verbose: false }`.
|
|
`verbose` defaults to `false` to avoid logging user message bodies / tool
|
|
arguments / state snapshots — it must be opted into explicitly.
|
|
|
|
Source: `docs/snippets/shared/troubleshooting/debug-mode.mdx:85-93`
|
|
|
|
### MEDIUM — Passing fields that aren't in `DebugConfig`
|
|
|
|
Wrong:
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
<CopilotKit debug={{ events: true, network: true, errors: true }} />
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Correct:
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
<CopilotKit debug={{ events: true, lifecycle: true, verbose: true }} />
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`DebugConfig` has exactly three fields: `events`, `lifecycle`, `verbose`.
|
|
Anything else is silently ignored by the type-narrowing at the provider.
|
|
|
|
Source: `packages/react-core/src/v2/providers/CopilotKitProvider.tsx` (DebugConfig type)
|
|
|
|
### MEDIUM — Inspector crashing in sandboxed iframes
|
|
|
|
Wrong:
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
// App embedded in a sandboxed iframe with showDevConsole on
|
|
<CopilotKit runtimeUrl="..." showDevConsole="auto" />
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Correct:
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
<CopilotKit
|
|
runtimeUrl="..."
|
|
showDevConsole={typeof window !== "undefined" && window.self === window.top}
|
|
/>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The inspector persists its anchor via `localStorage`. In sandboxed iframes
|
|
without storage access, the component throws on mount. Either disable in
|
|
iframes or whitelist storage in the sandbox attrs.
