Using the Debug Modules

Smart GWT LGPL, Pro, Power, and Enterprise come with debug / readable versions of the Smart GWT JS files that may be useful during development.

Note: These are useful only if you are interested in step-through debugging of framework JavaScript code using a JavaScript debugger, and we strongly discourage this as a primary approach to debugging: the Smart GWT framework code provides many, many advanced features and is extremely sophisticated as a result. Learning the internals of large parts of Smart GWT is unnecessary and ineffective as a debugging approach, and the other approaches discussed in Debugging should be your primary approaches to troubleshooting.

To enable the use of debug modules, you will need to change the <inherits> lines in the application's GWT module file to reference the debug versions of the Smart GWT modules:

Edition	Original <inherits>	New <inherits>
LGPL	<inherits name="com.smartgwt.SmartGwt"/>	<inherits name="com.smartgwt.debug.SmartGwtDebug"/>
Pro	<inherits name="com.smartgwtpro.SmartGwtPro"/>	<inherits name="com.smartgwtpro.debug.SmartGwtProDebug"/>
Power	<inherits name="com.smartgwtpower.SmartGwtPower"/>	<inherits name="com.smartgwtpower.debug.SmartGwtPowerDebug"/>
Enterprise	<inherits name="com.smartgwtee.SmartGwtEE"/>	<inherits name="com.smartgwtee.debug.SmartGwtEEDebug"/>

The convention is that the names of debug GWT modules end with "Debug".

If using the NoScript modules, you will instead need to change the <inherits> lines as follows:

Edition	Original <inherits>	New <inherits>
LGPL	<inherits name="com.smartgwt.SmartGwtNoScript"/>	<inherits name="com.smartgwt.debug.SmartGwtNoScriptDebug"/>
Pro	<inherits name="com.smartgwtpro.SmartGwtProNoScript"/>	<inherits name="com.smartgwtpro.debug.SmartGwtProNoScriptDebug"/>
Power	<inherits name="com.smartgwtpower.SmartGwtPowerNoScript"/>	<inherits name="com.smartgwtpower.debug.SmartGwtPowerNoScriptDebug"/>
Enterprise	<inherits name="com.smartgwtee.SmartGwtEENoScript"/>	<inherits name="com.smartgwtee.debug.SmartGwtEENoScriptDebug"/>

and change the <script> tags in the application's HTML file to the debug modules instead of the normal Smart GWT modules. For example:

     <script src="myapp/sc/modules-debug/ISC_Core.js">          </script>
     <script src="myapp/sc/modules-debug/ISC_Foundation.js">    </script>
     <script src="myapp/sc/modules-debug/ISC_Containers.js">    </script>
     <script src="myapp/sc/modules-debug/ISC_Grids.js">         </script>
     <script src="myapp/sc/modules-debug/ISC_Forms.js">         </script>
     <script src="myapp/sc/modules-debug/ISC_RichTextEditor.js"></script>
     <script src="myapp/sc/modules-debug/ISC_Calendar.js">      </script>
     <script src="myapp/sc/modules-debug/ISC_DataBinding.js">   </script>
     <script src="myapp/sc/modules-debug/ISC_Drawing.js">       </script>
  

Alternatively, the <isomorphic:loadISC> and <isomorphic:loadModules> tags support a useDebugModules attribute:

<isomorphic:loadISC skin="Enterprise" useDebugModules="true"/>
