Question

While trying to use GWT Super Dev Mode, I followed those guidelines :

• GWT-2.5-Super-Dev-Mode
• Introducing Super Dev Mode
• How does GWT’s Super Dev Mode work?

However, I am stuck at the step trying to turn on Super Dev Mode :

Once I fully compiled my project, I run the code server and the dev mode, go at http://127.0.0.1:8888/myapp.html (without the ?gwt.codesvr=127.0.0.1:9997) and then click on the bookmark Dev Mode On. It detects my module, asks me to recompile, a glass screen appears with a message Compiling MyApp ... and then nothing … No error, no stack trace either in Chrome or Eclipse. Just nothing happens.

Debugging the js code from dev_mode_on.js file, the script is interrupted at line 324 :

...
function getBindingParameters(module_name, get_prop_map) {
  var session_key = '__gwtDevModeSession:' + module_name;

  --> var prop_map = get_prop_map(); <--
...

Once the function get_prop_map is called, a few more obfuscated functions run and the debugger returns.

I know it is still experimental, but do you have any idea of what I could have done wrong ?

PS: I am using GWT 2.5, GWT-maven-plugin 2.5 and Chrome 23.0.1271.64 m

We have found a similar issue and tracked down the cause, looks like a boundary case not handled in GWT.
