I can't be 100% sure since I haven't tried the latest version of Alfresco, but until recently debugger did not work if you started Alfresco as a service, and it did not work on headless servers.

First make sure, you've stated tomcat in Debug mode.

Hi Murali,
Javascript debugger is working fine but debugging remotely from eclipse is not working
It is showing a error like
Failed to connect to remote VM. Connection refused.
Connection refused: connect

Hi ggoutham,
There could be two reasons.

1) You're not started tomcat in debug mode.
2) In eclipse, the debugger is already attached

Please check your debugging configuration in Eclipse and tomcat debug parameters.

Hi murali,
When iam starting the alfresco in the log showing errors like
java.lang.outofmemoryError PermGen space
i think these errors are occuring because of the environment variables set yesterday.
Can you help me please

Hi ggoutham,
What are those environment variables?
Have you configured them as system environment variables or user environment variables?
Are you starting the alfresco service in debug mode or from the service console?

Re: javascript debugger

ggoutham — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 08:55:53 GMT

Hi Murali,
environment variables are catalina_opts,jpda_address,jpda_transport i have set these variables using the link which you have given from command prompt, and i am starting alfresco using jpda start only,

Hi Goutham,
These variables are used to start the alfresco in debug mode. If you close the command prompt window, these environment variables will be cleared.
Are you trying to start alfresco in debug mode and using service also?

I worked on Alfresco 4.2 below work for me.

1) Go on below link
<a>http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/javascript/debugger</a>

2) It will ask username and password.

3) Enable the logger.

4) It will show logger window.

5) Now again execute any script.

6) Now you can debug in logger window script line by line.
