How to debug ExecuteFunctions for word add-in?

I'm implementing a functionality which runs in background(without Taskpanel), where I can POST the word document data to REST API through the ExecuteFunctions. my question here is How can I debug the Function file? I tried printing through the console logs and also tried to debug through F12 and Visual studio tools, but didn't work. I have created word add-in using YO Office generator.

To answer the question as is, simplest way of debugging the functions is through the Web experience (https://onedrive.live.com), where they will print stuff on the console.

You should probably check out this answer though: Run add-in without showing taskpane?

You really can't run background tasks without having a TaskPane. Functions are meant to just plainly execute something and exit. That means; upon clicking the Function button, you can make a request and upload some data, but you can't really keep a connection open and upload periodically after just one click.
