I have one app that is on the growth plan, and I’m developing a plugin for it that includes server side actions. To test this plugin, I created a free app, and this is the testing app for the plugin. However I need backend workflows to use the plugin, which are not available in the free version.
I’d rather not pay for another app when it’s just for testing for an app I’m already paying for. Bubble says not to use an app that’s in production as a testing app. Is there a way to do this kind of testing without paying for another app?
server side actions can be used in client side workflows as well. any reason why you need a backend workflow?
Dang, didn’t even know that was possible! I’m trying it now and it’s running, but I’m getting errors I can’t pinpoint, and I’m wondering if that’s because I’m using a node module in the plugin:
Do you know if this would cause issues if I were to run the action client side in the app?
it will still run on the server, in the same way a api connector request will run on the server regardless of where you invoke it.
you may have an error in the code. the usual hack to debug this is to return also a text value from the action and use it to store error messages that you catch in the code
