Identify a Problem

Because we never write buggy code, our Visualforce page should be working perfectly! Let’s make sure.

Force.com IDE is in a maintenance-only state. We still provide support for the product through our official channels, but updates prior to October 12, 2019 will be only for critical security issues that arise. On October 12, 2019, we will no longer provide support or updates of any kind for Force.com IDE. On that date, we will also begin archiving documentation and removing download links for the product. We recommend that you start migrating to Salesforce Extensions for Visual Studio Code or one of the great tools made by our partners. For more information, see The Future of Salesforce IDEs on the Salesforce Developers Blog.

Warning

  1. Make sure that you’re logged in to your org.
  2. Navigate to https://your_salesforce_instance/apex/AccountViewer.
  3. Notice that your Special Accounts list includes cold accounts. Their presence is unacceptable! Select Hide Cold Accounts.
  4. They're all gone, right? Wrong. What happened? It’s time for debugging!
