Debugging your IT automation scripts is a must to identify and fix any issues or bugs that prevent them from working properly or cause unexpected results. To do so, you can use different methods and tools depending on the nature and source of the problem. For example, logging involves adding statements or commands to your scripts that print or record information about the execution or state of your scripts. Meanwhile, tracing involves tracking the flow or sequence of your scripts and the interactions or calls between different functions or modules. Additionally, breakpoints involve pausing the execution of your scripts at a specific point or line and examining or modifying values or expressions in the current context or scope. Tools like logging, ansible-debug, terraform output, pdb, ansible-playbook --step, terraform graph, ipdb, ansible-playbook --debugger, and terraform console can be used for Python, Ansible, and Terraform scripts respectively.
