I believe oXygen allows you to step through the code because it has an integration with the MarkLogic debugger API:

It depends on the server settings where it is looking for your modules. If it is configured to look in the Modules database, you will have to upload all your modules to be able to run it. CQ itself is usually running from file-system. This means that if you are referring to modules, it is looking for them among the CQ files. Not that very nice to have your files mixed like that, so I usually create a separate HTTP server rooted on file-system, using a plain text editor to change the files and use the HTTP interface to execute the queries. You can create a separate test xquery and call that through HTTP to test specific things. By the way, I usually go a step further. After checking syntax by calling the modules from file-system, I upload them into the Modules database. Using the trace functionality, you can add debug logging, which can be usefull for debugging production environments. > How and using which tools do you develop Xquery apps for Mark Logic? I personally just use a text editor with syntax highlighting. Lots of colleagues of mine are fond of Oxygen. I am not aware of an editor that allows stepping through xquery code.. HTH.
