SSJS Debugger Demo in Notes in 9

Check out my two post last year regarding a SSJS Debugger  –> Link

Conditional breakpoints was one of the suggestions that was voted up as a function in the debugger and we get that. I don’t know if someone at IBM did read this and the feature is there because of the post but I like to think so 😉

Debug XPages code with a debugger of your choice

Posted by on 23 April,2012 3 comments

It has been alot of talk about a debugger for XPages, Do we need a copy of the lotusscript debugger. Or a brand new debugger that gives us new ways to debug our code. Yes please. I think there is several new interesting ideas on how to debug code faster and better. How would you like to debug your xpage code?

If you look at other languages there is alot of interesting features in debuggers like

Comment on this post if I’m missing something or if you have some ideas about what a good debugger should contain.
 
THE RESULT
 
Backwards debugging in flash
(Yes, I know flash is based on a timeline, so debugging forward and backwards is easier in flash)

My top 5 things that we need in XPages

Posted by on 15 October,2011 4 comments


1. Better Client and OS integration
You need to be able to do things in an XPage that you are used to in an ordinary client.

  • Copy and paste images into the rt field
  • Communicate with the eclipse client framework
  • Integration with other desktop applications
  • Finally get a full integration with symphony documents.
    (Open them directly from an XPage thru code, create from template, set content in Symphony)
2. Integrated Debugger and Memory profiler
Checkout the debugger in visualstudio this is how the debugger should work in my opinion. Start debugging in client code continue over in server side code and back again. NICE ;-). Memory profiler that is built in would also be great and not just for test environments (When do you really need them ? ).
 
3. More error handling in the designer
Today in the designer you can make errors easily that you will have a hard time finding.

 

4. WebServices
In all other modern development environments webservices is used alot. We need support for Webservices in XPages both in code and as a datasource.

 

5. Integrated Extension library
We need the extension library to be integrated into the server and client install.
If it’s installed. It’s also updated like you update Firefox or Chrome, automatically!

 

This is my top 5 things, no specific order. What are yours?
