Debug pattern errors systematically

Overview

# Debug Pattern

Use Skill("ct") for ct CLI documentation if debugging deployment or charm issues.

Read First

  • docs/development/debugging/workflow.md - 5-step debugging process
  • docs/development/debugging/README.md - Error reference matrix

Process

  1. Check TypeScript errors:

```bash

deno task ct check pattern.tsx --no-run

```

  1. Match error to documentation:

- Read the error message carefully

- Check docs/development/debugging/README.md for matching errors

  1. Check gotchas:

- docs/development/debugging/gotchas/handler-inside-pattern.md

- docs/development/debugging/gotchas/filter-map-find-not-a-function.md

- docs/development/debugging/gotchas/onclick-inside-computed.md

  1. Simplify to minimal reproduction:

- Comment out code until error disappears

- Add back piece by piece to find root cause

  1. Fix and verify:

- Apply fix

- Run tests to confirm

Common Issues

Handler defined inside pattern body:

  • Move handler() to module scope
  • Only bind it inside pattern: onClick={myHandler({ state })}

Type errors with Writable/Default:

  • Check if field needs write access β†’ use Writable<>
  • Check if field could be undefined β†’ use Default

Action not triggering:

  • Ensure Output type includes action as Stream
  • Use .send() not .get() to trigger

Done When

  • Root cause identified
  • Error fixed
  • Tests pass again
