problem with javascript debugger

tsgpartner_mui — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 16:17:57 GMT

When I try to enable the javascript debugger, my tomcat shutdowns shortly right after. Therefore, I cannot use the debugger.Would anyone know what is going on and why it is doing that?

You might be running in headless mode?

Not sure if I am running in headless mode.

I'm running windows, and I dont even receive a tomcat error because it shuts it off so quick. I checked the logs, nothing seems to be indicated there.

Are you running with Java v1.6.0 by any chance?

Are you in a position to try with 1.5 instead and see if that works?

Thanks,
Mike

I suspect he tried with a v1.5 JDK.

Does that work for you?

Thanks,

I wonder if there is a better solution than downgrading….

I read it's a swing application….do you know how to run separately from alfresco? I can use jdk 1.5 just for it…

thanks

I downgraded to 1.5 and now I can see the debugger running….

but it doesn't stop when I execute a javascript with alfresco….
I guess it wants me to open the JS source file….

do you know where alfresco stores the javascripts I have attached to the rules?

thanks,

Roberto

Tick the 'Break on Function Entry' menu item (under Debug) in the debugger.

thanks, it works now

I want also comment that I'm able to run the debugger remotely following these steps:

- make sure "alfresco" user can access to X
- modify startup "/etc/init.d/alfresco" script in a way can be run by user "alfresco"
- from your client "ssh -X alfresco@your_alfresco_server"
- run: /etc/init.d/alfresco start
- run: firefox -no-remote &
- goto: "http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/javascript/debugger"
- enable debugger ..and have fun
