Hello,

there are various potential reasons why this is not working. Please check the alfresco.log file for any further logging output that is not reported directly on the page. Server log output will never be written to the Chrome console, so you have to check that file (contents will be restricted/controlled by the log4j.properties).

Potential reasons:
- you run on a headless server - the debugger only supports running on a host which has a graphical interface associated with it
- you run the server on a different user account - the debugger will start its UI in the current process, which means for the user that is executing the Alfresco Tomcat instance / daemon. If that user account is different from yours, you will not set the UI popup. If that user account has no associated screen, than the attempt to open the UI may fail.
- your JDK / JRE somehow does not support the debugger UI - this I find rather improbable, since the UI technology being used is part of JVM core libraries

Regards
Axel

Hi AFaust,

Thank you so much !
Seems my problem is I'm on a headless server. I checked the alfresco.log file and can see my logs and breaking errors. The configuration of the Log4j did allow my trace in alfresco.log.
You made it so much more clear, thank you again.
I now can debug this script.

Thank you again,
