[Xerte-dev] Re: Debugging Xerte

I found out recently that if you have Xerte open with a debug window open, then publish your project, when you run your project in a web browser it will output the debug statements to the debug window.

Blimey. That has never occurred to me.

I was thinking more of something that would stop and step through operation for situations in which Xerte dies on you. So that you could put in break points.

Having slept on my particular programming problem I now have some useful ideas were to start looking for the offending code - time to go looking is another matter :-(

Kind regards

I am updating the scenario connector page to make it easier to use and have hit a situation where adding a particular xml element in the xwd form results in xerte locking up.

Is there any way of executing a preview or publishing the project and then viewing it in a browser such that it is possible to use some kind of debugging tool so that I can trace the progress of the code?

Of have I got to do it the hard way and start commenting out blocks of code :-(

Kind regards

Johnathan
