Anonymous Apex ​

Metaforce Anonymous Apex provides a dedicated execution and debugging workbench for running on-demand Apex scripts. Manage your snippet library, configure granular debug levels, execute batch iterations, and analyze execution logs with intelligent log filtering.

Anonymous Apex

Key Features ​

  • Apex Snippet Library: Organize and persist reusable scripts locally with custom titles, search filtering, and duplication.
  • Batch Execution (Loop Runner): Run an anonymous script repeatedly (e.g., 5x, 10x) with batch execution counters to test asynchronous triggers, batch queues, or bulk data generation.
  • Granular Debug Levels: Customize logging levels for Apex Code, Database, Profiling, Callouts, and Validation directly from the editor toolbar.
  • Log Filtering (Debug Only / Error Only): Toggle instant filters to isolate USER_DEBUG statements or runtime exceptions from noisy system execution logs.
  • Integrated Apex Formatter: Format code instantly via prettier-plugin-apex (Shift + Option/Alt + F).

Workspace Layout & Execution Flow ​

1. Snippet Management ​

The left sidebar hosts your personal Code Snippets:

  • Click the + button to create a new script.
  • Type in the search box to find saved snippets by title.
  • Duplicate or delete snippets with one click.
  • Unsaved changes are clearly flagged with a status badge (Unsaved) and automatically persisted.

2. Editor & Debug Configuration ​

The main editor area provides Apex syntax highlighting, auto-completion, and indentation:

  • Set your preferred logging levels before execution to control log granularity.
  • Rename the snippet title directly in the header bar.

3. Execution & Batch Runs ​

  • Single Execution: Click Execute or press Cmd/Ctrl + Enter.
  • Batch Execution: Click the dropdown arrow on the Execute button to configure the repetition count (e.g., run 10 times consecutively).

4. Analyzing Debug Logs ​

The bottom log viewer immediately streams the execution log:

  • Debug Only: Hides boilerplate platform events and displays only your System.debug(...) output.
  • Error Only: Focuses strictly on fatal errors, stack traces, and uncaught exceptions.
  • Raw Log: Access full raw transaction logs with timestamps and governor limit summaries.
