Debugging

If you have any problems you may debug the code with the predefined flags. It uses the debug module to let you define what to debug.

Call it with the DEBUG environment variable set to the types you want to debug. The most valuable flags will be:

DEBUG=validator* validator...  # complete debugging
DEBUG=validator:number validator...  # only display the NumberSchema use
DEBUG=validator:number,validator:string validator...  # or use multiple

You can also combine them using comma like in the last example line or use only DEBUG=* to show all debugging from all modules.

Such debugging may look like:
