[Bug]: Debug option for transforms doesn't work #6434
Description
Apache Hop version?
2.17.0-SNAPSHOT
Java version?
openjdk 21.0.9 2025-10-21 LTS
Operating system
Linux
What happened?
In a pipeline you can click on a transform and select the Preview option. This gives you a dialog capable of specifying for each transform (the clicked-on selected by default) the amount of rows to preview. After that the GUI will run the pipeline, acquire the rows and pauze.
As you can see, in the same dialog there is an options to pauze the pipeline when a certain condition is met. This is identical in functionality to the "Debug" option on the transform menu. This "Debug" option currently doesn't work as intended since the "Pipeline debug dialog" isn't offered at all.
Given this situation I would suggest to simply remove the "Debug" menu option and rename the "Preview" option to "Preview & Debug". I would also update the documentation: https://hop.apache.org//manual/latest/pipeline/run-preview-debug-pipeline.html#_preview_a_pipeline
