Question

I’m implementing a custom document-details action in Share on community 4.0.a.
This action is using repository webscript that acts as an HTTP POST handler.

So I went to /alfresco/service/api/javascript/debugger to enable the js debugger tool.

But when I try to open a js file manually like aspects.post.json.js it launches a syntax error.

it does it with any js that starts with:

<import resource="classpath:/alfresco/xxx/xxx.js">

Is there anything I should be aware of to use this debugger with such files?

Answer 1

The “import tag” is not valid javascript. Thats why javascript syntax aware editors complain. As Florian mentions, it is resolved before the “whole” javascript is fed to the interpreter (rhino).

Nevertheless, would be nice if Alfresco would replace this tag with valid javascript to make tools happy – maybe with something similiar to the require function node.js provides.
