There is no debugger at this time.

Worth mentioning that you can do a lot of useful debugging in something
like the Chrome developer tools debugger though, to work out what is
happening.

I tend to have a panel though with a memo in which a Report() function can
put strings. Then I can see what is happening in my code. Obviously this is
not visible in end user versions.

Also worth mentioning now I think of it is that you want to turn off
the compression, and if assign a string to a variable that you can then
find, you can pinpoint the lines easily.

myvar := 'Breakpoint here';

You can find the string in the Chrome debugger, and then add the
breakpoint.

As Matthew indicated, there *are* other debugging options, which are covered in the manual:
