Debugging Sybase SUP HWC Applications

Browser based Debugging:

Google Chrome

Mozilla Firefox

Apple Safari

Select “Show develop menu in the menu bar” from Settings -> Preferences -> Advanced

To display the Hybrid Web Container in the browser:

Determine the URL for the generated application (e.g. workflow_jQueryMobileLookAndFeel.html)
- In the SUP Workspace Expand the Generated Workflow/<workflow>/html folder
- Right-click on the workflow***.html file
- Choose Properties Copy the Location to the clipboard
Determine the Key of the desired screen (e.g. Start) by selecting your workflow, the desired screen and referring to the Key within the General properties
Add the ?screentoshow=<screen key> URL parameter to the end of the file URL
Within the browser open the combined url

Install nodejs – http://nodejs.org/
Open a command prompt and type: “npm install weinre” to install npm package. Network restrictions may cause the download to fail.
Create a batch file with the following making sure to change the paths if necessary.

@ECHO OFF

echo add the following to the customBeforeWorkflowLoad() function within Custom.js

echo ____

echo var headID = document.getElementByTagName(“head”)[0];

echo var newScript = document.createElement(‘script’);

echo newScript.type = ‘text/javascript’;

echo headID.appendChild(newScript);

echo return true;

echo ____

node “C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\weinre\weinre” –httpPort 8080 –boundHost -all-

Run the batch file.
Within SUP project navigate to Generated Workflow/Project Name/html/js/Custom.js and add the following to the customBeforeWorkflowLoad method

function customBeforeWorkflowLoad() {

// Please note some scenarios that should not be handled here:

// 1) There is no screen available before workflow load finishes

// 2) You cannot called any SharedStorage functions here because the url parameters

// have not yet been parsed and workflow setting are not yet initialized.

var headID = document.getElementsByTagName(“head”)[0];

var newScript = document.createElement(‘script’);

newScript.type = ‘text/javascript’;

newScript.src = ‘http://<SUP Server>:8080/target/target-script-min.js#anonymous’;

headID.appendChild(newScript);

return true;

}

After deploying your project open http://localhost:8080/ and refer to the Weinre documentation.

Hello, I tried the Chrome-solution. For “-disable-web-security” you must type “--disable-web-security“.

I have a screen with a button which calls an MBO Online Request – invoke object query: findAll.

I click the button, but nothing happens. Works fine in HWC on a device connected via Relay Server (but no debugging options).

Should MBO-Requests work?
