How to debug custom lenses? #508

Closed mainrs closed 10 months ago

My lenses index properly, but searching for text that is present at the given HTML page returns no matches. Can I somehow delete all indices and force a re-index?

@mainrs if you don't mind attaching the lens here, I'd be happy to help debug it with you. Otherwise, deleting the data folder will force spyglass to reindex everything.

I issue was faulty Ron syntax. Would be nice if I could get an error message somehow. Maybe add a list item for spyglasses that failed to load property alongside the ones that did load. And use the filename as their name. 🤔 And attach the deserialization error to them as a description text.
