I'm trying to debug and see what exactly slice looks like in the OnData method of the Algorithm.I've selected the Universe and I want to see what the data actually is.

So, I did the following:

    def OnData(self, slice):

        self.Debug(slice.Bars)

The backtest completed and I see nothing in the Console.I even tried to set a Breakpoint at that very same line. It stopped there, but again, nothing when I tried to actually access the data and see what looks like.

So, question is: How do I use any of these debugging tools?

I also tried the following, since I read in Docs that it's a dictionary:

    def OnData(self, slice):

        for item in slice.Bars:

            self.Log(item)

But the Logs don't show anything either.

Hi Red Ghost,
Please refer to the following youtube video we have uploaded on our channel on how to use the debugger tool.The algorithm can only log String values to log the items in data.Bars, we recommend typecasting them into a string using the str() method. Refer to the attached backtest.
Best,
