WebOS: Mojo Debugger Breakpoint
I have literally just got this working after spending the last two days trying to figure out how to link the breakpoint to the source code. It turns out the solution is the last thing mentioned in the ‘How to write a debugger’ article for Eclipse. You need to create a presentation object. This returns a reference to whatever file editor the javascript is associated with, which if you have the Aptana plugin is the Aptana editor.
This is version 1.4.4 of the plugin showing a breakpoint in the preferences view of the newsReader sample application. Note, the stack dump but no local variables yet. Also note the application is called ‘Mojo App #1′ in the debug window. This is so I can keep track of the strings I am using. I will go back through this and fix all that stuff at some point.
So this is quite a major milestone. When I started this I visualised that this was what I wanted to see. A breakpoint in the editor with the stack dump. The only bit that’s missing is the variables, that’s another issue in itself. I always thought I could get this working but I also had my moments when I doubted myself. If it wasn’t so late I would pour myself a McCallan but I think I’ll savour this soberly and look at it again tomorrow.
