Error Debugging Features Explained

Elastic Copilot's error debugging feature helps developers quickly resolve issues through the following process:

Error Detection:Automatic highlighting of problematic lines of code
Problem diagnosis:Provide a detailed description of the type of error (e.g. undefined variable, syntax error, etc.)
Restoration Recommendations:Give 1-3 possible repair options
Apply the fix:Users can preview and select the best fixes to apply

For example, when an "undefined variable" error occurs:

Copilot will mark the location of undefined variables
Analyzing the possible scopes of variables and where they are defined
Provide options:
a) Add a variable definition to the current scope
b) Check if the imported module contains the variable
c) Change to the correct variable name
The solution is automatically applied when the user selects "Fix".

This feature significantly reduces manual debugging time, saving an estimated 40% or more in error troubleshooting time.
