The way to debug workflow 2013 from SharePoint Online

Thanks for the post from Andrew Connell, we got basic concept of workflow 2013 debugging.

As more and more enterprises migrating their SharePoint to Office 365, we cannot rely on "workflow history list" on debugging.

What's the solution?

So far, the only choice is "replication". Replicating the Online Site collection to On-Premise Dev environment, then test it there through Fiddler.

As Andrew Connell mentioned, we need to build the On-Premise Dev environment carefully, but it's possible to replicate the whole site through third-party migration tool, such as ShareGate, then debug from there.

ShareGate is still expensive (although it's possible the cheapest one comparing to other competent). But it should be all right for medium to large enterprise. It's not such a big number comparing to Office 365 subscription fee of the whole company, anyway.
