As a developer (WO builder role) I need to be able to debug my work e.g. by access to logs / traces so that I am able to overcome errors

As a WO builder when working with the SDK I need to use a development IDE / Text editor to work with YAML / JSON files to add the needed Watson Orchestrate skill annotations and to generate the package structure to be able to control my desired Skill behaviour.


During this work I as usual for development work easily initially generate something with errors preventing the skill to work as desired. If so I need to have developer capability to debug my work and to identify the problem to resolve it and overcome the problem.


The WO UI currently only provides limited capability to perform such debug work, e.g. to identify why the skill import fails, or why the skill sequencing is not working as expected or why the skill is not performing as expected.


Additional capability should be added accessible for the builder role e.g. by access to logs, traces, trace levels to get the necessary insight into what is going on and preventing my skill development work to have the desired behaviour.
