Hi everyone, I am currently working with Alfresco 4.0.d community edition on a Oracle Linux 6 virtual machine, using Firefox as my browser.Most recently, I had been attempting to create a script which could be executed via a rule that would dynamically create sub-folders as new items entered a space

The problem is here:

var newSpaceName = rootSpaceName.createFolder(childTitle);‍

Because the code as written will try to create a folder with the same name as the document that is already in the mainFolder. For example, if I have a document called "test.txt" your code tries to create a folder called "test.txt" and that's not going to fly–nodes must be uniquely named in a given folder.

To answer your logging question you can use logger.log but you have to turn on debugging in log4j.properties by setting:

log4j.logger.org.alfresco.repo.jscript.ScriptLogger=debug‍

Another tool you might be interested in is Florian Maul's JavaScript Console. It lets you run JavaScript interactively in the Share UI. Use "print" to write statements to that console.
