GUI Composer JavaScript Console

Where can I find the javascript (firebug lite) console in code composer studio v5.3.0? The following links says that it can be opened by pressing f12 in preview mode, however when I do that nothing seems to happen.

My problem right now is that I have to restart code composer studio entirely in order to clear the javascript cache (or is there also another way to clear the cache?).

  • Hi Roland, 

    The internal firebug lite is very limited, the external firebug that comes with firefox will be a better choice for debugging your app. Note that you can also use chrome to debug your app too.

    There is no way to clear the cache without shutdown CCS. If you want to clear cache, the best way is to debug with an external firebug (or chrome) and clear the external browser cache.

  • Hello Patrick,

    Thank you for the reply. Could you please tell me how to open the internal firebug lite? Also, how is it possible to use an external debugger? I can go to "http://localhost:8081/maqetta/" with firefox and edit the GUI, but when I launch preview mode from this location the GUI is not connected to the debugsession (i.e. it is completely static, no updates of variables).

    Regards,

  • Hi Roland,

    Firebug has been removed due to its limited capability, the debug content on the wiki page require an update.
    To debug with external firebug. Preview the app once and enter this url into your external web browser (http://localhost:7272/gc/maqetta_preview/<app name>/app.html).

  • Hello Patrick,

    Thank you alot, this really helps. Now I can just press refresh in firefox and code changes are directly visible.
