Can standalone js files be debugged in Rhino in eclipse? [message #669656] Wed, 11 May 2011 04:09 Go to next message

So I followed this wiki article to set up the Rhino Debugger:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/JSDT/Debug/Rhino/Using_Rhino_Console

I also created a Javascript project (called Test) and a Javascript file (called Test.js)

I started my Rhino Debugger as per the article. I think right click the Test.js file and do "Debug as->Debug Javascript"

If I go to the Debug Perspective I see two entries:

DebugShell[Java Application]
/opt/ibm/java/bin/javaw
Test.js[JavaScript]

I also set 2 breakpoints in my js file. It is not debugging as I'd expect the way it does in JDT and CDT.

I am using Helios (3.6.2) and I updated my WTP last night.

Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Made some progress on this one. Apparently port 9000 was not friendly (maybe i have another debugger like PHP running on it). After changing both the DebugShell and my JavaScript Debug runtime to use port 5000 instead, my Javascript when being debug tries to talk with the DebugShell. I am now getting a java.lang.NullPointerException when trying to debug my Javascript.

The Rhino Debugger says this:

Rhino debugger

js>

at that point it pops a window with java.lang.NullPointer Exception. I check the Error logs and see this:


An internal error occurred during: "Launching Test.js".

and if the session data might help:

So after going to the dev team, it appears that the 3.6 version wasn't really ready. I tested it on 3.7M7 with JSDT and it worked as expected.
