Can someone confirm that the javascript debugger (http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/javascript/debugger) is not working in Community 3.2.

If there is a work-a-round I'd appreciate it … very frustrating trying to develop some scripts in the dark.

Thanks in advance.

mikeh · ‎04-09-2010

Works fine - trust me, it's one of the first things we'd notice if it broke!

When you say it's not working, what do you mean? If it's not picking up breakpoints or loading scripts, then try resetting webscripts to clear the cache. The debugger can't attach to scripts after they've been compiled.

Thanks,
Mike

I'm glad it's working – but this is what we get when trying to start the debugger (on two separate installs of 3.2R).

Anything in the log file? You're not trying to launch the debugger on a headless server by any chance? The debugger uses Java Swing for the GUI.

Thanks,
Mike

As far as headless goes … we're testing with virtual machines. Linux, Opensuse. I've worked with it two ways.
a) I've VNC'ed into it.
b) In the VM server console I've started an X session

mikeh · ‎10-12-2010

Nope, works fine here - again, check you're not on a headless server O/S

Thanks,
Mike

Hi,

I am also a newbie to using Alfresco, and have not been able to enable the debugger in either Alfresco or share (http://127.0.0.1:8080/alfresco/service/api/javascript/debugger or http://127.0.0.1:8080/share/page/api/javascript/debugger). I am using Windows 7 32-bit, Enterprise Version 3.3.2 on my local workstation/laptop.

Any help would be appreciated, it is difficult to be not be able to debug JS when writing new webscripts.

I get the following error:
The Web Script /alfresco/service/api/javascript/debugger has responded with a status of 500 - Internal Error.

500 Description:   An error inside the HTTP server which prevented it from fulfilling the request.

Can you post the complete null ptr exception?

jhsu9 · ‎12-08-2010

Hi Kevin,

Sorry I assumed the forum would email me if someone replied. I have an answer to this problem based on help from Alfresco Network Support. The debugger doesn't work when Alfresco is run as a service. I made all Alfresco services (alfrescoMySQL, alfrescoOpenOffice, alfrescoTomcat) Manual Start up type, and have 4 files saved in the Alfresco folder that support alfresco start/stop, only thing need to change is the JAVA_HOME in setPaths file.

1. alf_start.bat:

@echo off
rem —————————————————————————
rem Start script for the Alfresco Server
rem —————————————————————————

call "%~dp0alfresco.bat" start %1‍‍‍‍‍‍

2. alf_stop.bat:

@echo off
rem —————————————————————————
rem Stop script for the Alfresco Server
rem —————————————————————————

call "%~dp0alfresco.bat" stop %1‍‍‍‍‍‍

3. alfresco.bat

@echo off
rem —————————————————————————

Great! Thanks Judy. It worked for me.
I've had this same question posted here for more than a month with no response.
