Hi Make community,
I just wanted to get your take on what the best way is to not use up as many (ideally any) operations when you are simply testing something. I get that there isn’t a Make “sandbox” but has anyone implemented a special process not to cut into your operations while you are creating scenarios? I’m a fairly new Make user so in my case testing is absolutely vital… but I’m also conscious of using up my company’s ops.
Any suggestions/insights would be really awesome. Thanks!
You could use a Parse json Module to Create Test variables and only let The scenario run as far you Need it by adding a Router and disabling The branch
You could right-click and unlink the modules that you do not want to run.
If you are using iterators, you can test one item by creating a filter to only allow the first index through.
To manage the number of operations you use you must ensure that no module passes more than 1 bundle to the next one. Or if not 1 then not much more than 1. Any time a module passes X number of bundles to the next module that next module will execute X number of times as well. A filter, as mentioned already, can limit the number of bundles that pass through the rest of the scenario.
One approach we have found useful is to develop the scenario in functional sub-scenarios that can be combined later or linked via web hooks. Then you can manage how many operations are used within a smaller scenario.
