# Debugging your Code Engine toolchain

Use these tips to learn how to troubleshoot IBM Cloud® Code Engine issues with toolchain.
{: shortdesc}

A toolchain is a set of tool integrations that support development, deployment, and operations tasks. Toolchains are part of IBM Cloud's Continuous Delivery pipeline. You can set up a toolchain to automate the build and deployment of your Code Engine workloads.

## Creating a debug log file for your pipeline
{: #troubleshoot-toolchain-ce-log}

You can create a debug log for your pipeline, which allows you to better understand what is happening with your toolchain. To create a debug log, start another pipeline run after you set the toolchain environment property `pipeline-debug` to `1` (`0` is the default). This property enables trace output in the log files and lists all files that are packaged. 

1. Open the **Overview** page for your toolchain.
2. Under **Delivery pipelines**, open your `ci-pipeline`.
3. Click **Environment properties**.
4. Find the `pipeline-debug` property and set it to `1`.
5. Start another pipeline run.
6. Find the log files.
