Is there a way to run my elisp step by step and to see how all the variables are changing as I step through the code ?

Thank you. I had read about it and probably missed something because I could not make it work at my first attempt. Hence my question.
Thank you *so* much. It took me just 1 minute to find a silly bug I had introduced in my code.

`M-x debug-on-entry SOME-FUNCTION'
Or insert calls to `debug' anywhere in source code,
to enter the code there. This is helpful, for
example, to debug what happens in an `interactive'
spec (since `debug-on-entry' kicks in only after
the `interactive' spec has done its thing).
See (elisp) `Invoking the Debugger':
