Root scope objects inside Javascript Debugger

[acarpine]

How can I use the root scope objects inside the Alfresco Javascript Debugger (available at http://[hostname]:[port]/share/page/api/javascript/debugger)?

http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/4.0_JavaScript_API#Scripting_API reports:

The Alfresco JavaScript API provides a rich set of scriptable Java objects that are available to the script writer. Many "root" scope objects (see below) are provided by default, such as access to the user home folder, company home folder, WCM Web Projects, search, People API…

but although I am able to use the root scope objects executing a script inside Alfresco, just using it direclty

groups.getGroup(groupName);‍

I can't figure out how to use/import that objects in a script tested with the Debugger.

You don't need to import them, they're there by default for Alfresco, Alfresco adds those objects when the script gets executed

For the debugger you should be able to use it as well

Executing a simple code like

groups.getAllRootGroups()‍

the debugger throws a popup with the exception

org.mozilla.javascript.EcmaError: ReferenceError: "groups" is not defined

and I obtain the same result with other root objects.

There is no "groups" root scope object, you have to use the "people" root scope object which handles groups.

The section "Root Scope Objects" of http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/4.0_JavaScript_API#Scripting_API reports

groups    The root of group authorities. Providing access to groups Groups

and when I use that object from a script inside Alfresco all works well.
Anyway trying to use people I obtain the same Exception

org.mozilla.javascript.EcmaError: ReferenceError: "people" is not defined

I hoped to test Javacript using the debugger option to load an external javascript file and see the result directly in the debug before to load it in Alfresco but I understand now that this is out of the scope of the debugger.

tks anyway
