How do you step through thinkscript in ThinkOrSwim platform?

As noted by @Gary, thinkScript has no debugger tool. You can use chart bubbles, as Gary suggested, and chart labels.

Chart bubbles appear at a specified bar when a condition is met. Chart labels appear at the upper left of the chart when a condition is met.

Syntax

Notes:

• Parameter labels with spaces require double quotes; those without spaces don't require quotes.
• Parameter labels are NOT required when all required parameters are provided, and those parameters are in the expected order. I am showing them in this syntax description for clarity.
• Parameters DO NOT have to appear on individual lines. Again, I've done that in this syntax description for clarity, and so I can comment the parameters' meanings.

AddChartBubble("time condition", # condition defining bar where bubble should appear "price location", # which price should bubble point at (eg, high, low) text, # text to display in bubble color, # bubble color up # display bubble above price (yes) or below it (no) ); 

AddLabel(visible, # condition defining whether the label should appear; yes means always text, # text to display in label color # label color ); 

As a side note, #hint: .... displays a "helper" message for the code when you click the question mark in the selection list. Also, \n in the hint text places a "newline" character at that point.

Example code:

#hint: Counts a value using an if statement, recursive variable type statement, and a CompoundValue statement.\nDemonstrates using chart bubbles and labels for debugging. def TrueRange; if BarNumber() == 1 { TrueRange = ATR(14)[1]; } else { TrueRange = TrueRange[1]; } def tr_rec = if BarNumber() == 1 then tr_rec[1] + 1 else tr_rec[1]; def tr_cmpd = CompoundValue(1, if BarNumber() == 1 then ATR(14)[1] else tr_cmpd[1], Double.NaN); # plot Data = close; # not req'd if doing only labels and/or bubbles def numBars = HighestAll(BarNumber()); def halfwayBar = numBars / 2; # bubble to test a value AddChartBubble("time condition"=BarNumber() == halfwayBar, "price location"=high, text="Bar Number " + BarNumber() + "\n is the halfwayBar (" + halfwayBar + ")", color=Color.YELLOW, up=no); # labels to test values AddLabel(yes, "# Bars on Chart: " + numBars, Color.YELLOW); AddLabel(yes, "TrueRange @ bar 1: " + GetValue(TrueRange, numBars - 1), Color.ORANGE); AddLabel(yes, "TrueRange @ bar " + numBars + ": " + TrueRange, Color.ORANGE); AddLabel(yes, "tr_rec @ bar 1: " + GetValue(tr_rec, numBars - 1), Color.LIGHT_ORANGE); AddLabel(yes, "tr_rec @ bar " + numBars + ": " + tr_rec, Color.LIGHT_ORANGE); AddLabel(yes, "tr_cmpd @ bar 1: " + GetValue(tr_cmpd, numBars - 1), Color.LIGHT_GREEN); AddLabel(yes, "tr_cmpd @ bar " + numBars + ": " + tr_cmpd, Color.LIGHT_GREEN);
