Does someone known how to use this new debug??

The old style RAD Debugger can't do it, no.

What I've done with Javascript to debug is to add print statements. You can throw them in anywhere and figure out where it's getting stuck.

The advanced debugger will allow you to debug line by line.

what issues are you having?

The advanced debugger will allow you to debug line

... although it must be said, that SC6.2 release has a problem with that.
In my experience I've found that:

1. it's possible to see the executed JS line numbers
2. it's impossible to "create a window" with a specific JS lib using RAD stack trace (this was working nicely in sc6.1) and hence put a breakpoint in that lib.

Or, maybe, I'm just missing something obvious here?

You can either pre-set a break point in any js (right click) or set it after you've run a trace on it. On break, you're one click away from the exact line and its details...

Hello,

I'm using SC6.1.2 and every time the following messages appear:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The ServiceCenter Server cold not be accessed. The network connection may be dow, or your session may have timed out. Would you like to retry accessing the server? Press Yes to retry or no to reconnect.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
or
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error: Enable to create part:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This way I can't debugge the javascript line by line.

Does someone known what I'm doing wrong??

I did the following steps to test breakpoint:
1- put the following javascript commands at ocmq.view.summary at the update event.

system.vars.$G_teste="1"
system.vars.$G_teste="2"
system.vars.$G_teste="3"
system.vars.$G_teste="4"
system.vars.$G_teste="5" // the breakpoint is set at this line
system.vars.$G_teste="6"
system.vars.$G_teste="7"
system.vars.$G_teste="8"
system.vars.$G_teste="9"
system.vars.$G_teste="10"

2- pressed the start/stop the debugger
3- updated a request record.

Result:
- The variable $G.test is with the value 10. So it doesn't stop at line five.
- At the trace window there is lots of lines and between them are:
3: <UNKNOWN> [line 1]
3: <UNKNOWN> [line 2]
3: <UNKNOWN> [line 3]
3: <UNKNOWN> [line 4]
3: <UNKNOWN> [line 5]
3: <UNKNOWN> [line 6]
3: <UNKNOWN> [line 7]
3: <UNKNOWN> [line 8]
3: <UNKNOWN> [line 9]
3: <UNKNOWN> [line 10]

And if I click twice in another line it shows me the javascript code. However if I click twice in a line like 3: <UNKNOWN> [line 5] the message error above is presented.


I'm doing something wrong??

Thanks

Yepp, I was doing it the wrong way.
The catch was not to use app trace directly
but go first to the library and set the breakpoint over there.

After that I don't get "Unable to create part" message
and can debug awayyyyyy.....

Thanks.

Thanks Mateuszk,

I get debugge line by line at ScriptLibrary... I was coding at formatcontrol/javascript withaut a Library... in the formatcontrol the new debugger doesn't work.

but steel have a problem, my connection is down when I stop the new debugger. It is normal??

Thanks!!!

[mateuszk]

How do you stop it?
Using the "start/stop the debugger button"?

[hpm]

yes, its wrong??

[mateuszk]

No, that's correct.
And yes, this is not normal.
