Dynamics 365 / Dataverse

Debug Dataverse locally first

XrmGhost gives Dynamics teams a local-first workflow for debugging, validating, and documenting Dataverse behavior before the next cloud deploy slows the investigation down.

One command.

No account is required to install the CLI. Use the Trial quickstart when you are ready to validate the workflow in your own environment.

bash
$ dotnet tool install -g XrmGhost.Cli
$ xg setup host --update

What is XrmGhost?

XrmGhost gives Dynamics teams a local-first operating layer for debugging, validating, and documenting Dataverse behavior without slowing every iteration down to a cloud deployment cycle.

Run the real plugin loop locally

Shorten the gap between change and feedback by executing your Dataverse logic on your machine before you queue another cloud deploy.

Keep setup repeatable

The CLI, host bootstrap, and environment commands give every developer the same starting point for Trial evaluations and Standard deployments.

Move from guesswork to evidence

Turn a flaky cloud-only issue into a reproducible scenario you can inspect, rerun, and explain to the rest of the team.

The pain you know all too well

XrmGhost is built for the moments when the platform is fine, the code looks fine, and the delivery loop is still the slowest part of the job.

Deploy-to-debug delays

A simple plugin change still means waiting for packaging, import, and a fresh repro in the tenant.

Run the same logic locally first so the cloud deploy only happens after the behavior is already understood.

Shared sandbox uncertainty

One team's investigation can collide with another team's test data, customizations, or release window.

Work from reproducible local scenarios that isolate the issue before you coordinate a shared validation pass.

Hard-to-explain regressions

A bug disappears by the time someone else looks at it, so the team debates symptoms instead of causes.

Capture the scenario, rerun it on demand, and share the exact command path that produced the failure.

How it works

  1. Install the CLI and host once

    Bootstrap the local runtime with the documented setup flow so every developer starts from the same verified tooling baseline.

  2. Capture the scenario you need

    Use XrmGhost to run the failing path locally, inspect the behavior, and turn the repro into a repeatable command sequence.

  3. Share the workflow with confidence

    Move from one-off debugging to documented team practice with reusable command groups, attributes, and source-of-truth docs.

Real results

The launch story is simple: reduce waiting, keep investigations reproducible, and give every customer-facing release a cleaner proof trail.

Faster feedback

Shorten the path from hypothesis to verified fix by moving the first debugging pass off the tenant and onto your machine.

Clearer handoffs

Give support, QA, and engineering a shared repro path instead of a screenshot, a guess, and a meeting invite.

Safer launches

Use Trial to validate the workflow, then carry the same operating model into Standard without retraining the team.

Built by teams that know the wait

XrmGhost comes from real delivery frustration: too many plugin changes, too many slow feedback loops, and too much time spent explaining bugs that should have been easy to reproduce.

The product direction stays grounded in practical documentation, local-first workflows, and a source-of-truth mindset that helps technical teams explain what happened instead of debating what might have happened.
