reference to undefined property window.isc_useSimpleNames

[RickBollinger]

I downloaded and tested with a new SmartClient Version: SmartClient_SC_SNAPSHOT-2012-03-05_v82p/Pro Development Only (built 2012-03-05). I am still running Mozilla Firefox 3.6.18 with Firebug using Windows XP Pro 32 bit.

I started it and it stopped at the breakpoint I set. The start stack, start Net tab and start console tab images are attached. I note that the console tab had an error that did not stop processing.

When I continued SmartClient (not VB yet) it stopped on an error "reference to undefined property window.isc_useSimpleNames" (Line 40). The error stack and error Net tab images are attached. The console tab still showed the earlier error. The new error had no message on the firebug console tab.

The server console showed SmartClient had just started.

The ignored error was

kav_vkList.this is undefined
chrome://ffvkbd/content/ikavvklistener.js
Line 89

This test was on a brand new version of SmartClient. There were no previous files onto which it was copied. It was installed into a new space, right next to an earlier installation with my files inside it. CVS was told to ignore the new folder.

Please let me know what to do now. Is there some more debugging I can do? The original problem I was trying to solve is now over two weeks old. From there it graduated to where VB would not start. Now, SmartClient itself will not start.

I cannot give up on your product. What you have created is very good and very ambitious, and would be very good for me to have working.

As far as we can tell, you've configured Firebug to stop execution if a property on "window" is accessed which is not defined. This would break most websites. Revert this setting. If you don't know how you turned it on, revert all Firebug settings to defaults.

Good call. The Firebug documentation does not mention how to interpret this one little button. With some experimentation I was able to get SmartClient to load and start VisualBuilder. This time it did not hang.....

I started the process of moving my saved database, datasources and application files to the new folder. I am looking forward to tomorrow.

Thanks for the help.

This issue has been resolved for me. The more recent version of SC seems to be working better. I can open Visual Builder and it does not hang.

The insight that Firebug was oversensitive to errors seemed to contribute. How this option got set is not a surprise. It is just a button. The hover text does not help know its status and the Firebug documentation gives no clues.

Thanks to all that contributed.

Now I will have to find a new way to screw things up...
