Is it possible to use console.log in CWL javascript expressions? Also I was wondering about debugger statements or stepping through the code? Or what is the recommended way to go about debugging with CWL javascript?

Rabix composer tool editor (http://rabix.io/) has the JS editor integrated. You can simulate tool inputs and it shows what is returned with the expression.
