How to Debug Errors

CopilotKit provides visual error display for local development and debugging. This feature is completely free and requires no API keys.

Quick Setup

import { CopilotKit } from "@copilotkit/react-core";

export default function App() {
  return (
    <CopilotKit
      runtimeUrl="<your-runtime-url>"
      showDevConsole={true} 
    >
      {/* Your app */}
    </CopilotKit>
  );
}

When to Use Development Debugging

• Local development - See errors immediately in your UI
• Quick debugging - No setup required, works out of the box
• Testing - Verify error handling during development

Troubleshooting

Development Debugging Issues

• Dev console not showing:
  • Confirm showDevConsole={true}
  • Check for JavaScript errors in the browser console
  • Ensure no CSS is hiding the error banner
