How to check if debug mode is enabled in bidding logic?

[profgrammer]

Hi,
There are a couple of places where we call contributeToHistogram and contributeToHistogramOnEvent in our bidding logic. These calls are guarded by some experiments and we want to have debug mode enabled in all of the calls. In case more than one experiment is enabled we end up calling enableDebugMode more than once which crashes the script.

• Is there any way to know if debug mode is enabled in the privateAggregation object?
• Is this a best practice to follow? If not how can we best implement this case?

Thanks in advance!

Hi!

While there isn't a built in way to check debug mode, callers should be able to define a variable within their code to detect when it is available.

For example:

// At the start of generateBid()
let isDebugModeEnabled = false;

// Later, maybe multiple times:
if (!isDebugModeEnabled) {
  privateAggregation.enableDebugMode();
  isDebugModeEnabled = true;
}
