Seeing JavaScript Console output...

[DSSavant]

Two items:

A) In the FullDemo as well in code, the Command ToggleJSConsole does not work properly. You can show the window once and only once:

In pseudo code:
DoVerb(null, "ExecuteCommand", "ToggleJSConsole"); // will show the window
DoVerb(null, "ExecuteCommand", "ToggleJSConsole"); // will hide
DoVerb(null, "ExecuteCommand", "ToggleJSConsole"); // will do nothing

My questions:
1) How can you determine if the console is showing or not?
2) Is there such a command as "ShowJSConsole"/"Show"?

B) Is there a way to capture the JS console output. For example, how do I capture the output from the JS script: 'console.println("Hello World.")'

Hi, DSSavant.

Code: Select all

DoVerb(null, "ExecuteCommand", "ToggleJSConsole"); // will show the window
DoVerb(null, "ExecuteCommand", "ToggleJSConsole"); // will hide
DoVerb(null, "ExecuteCommand", "ToggleJSConsole"); // will do nothing

It is issue really and will be fixed in the next build. Thanks.

1) How can you determine if the console is showing or not?

You may obtain actual visibility state by:

Code: Select all

GetProperty("View.Panes["JavaScript"].Visible", val, 0);

2) Is there such a command as "ShowJSConsole"/"Show"?

You may change the "View.Panes["JavaScript"].Visible" property directly, without UI-command sending:

Code: Select all

SetProperty("View.Panes["JavaScript"].Visible", "true", 0); // to show JS-Console
SetProperty("View.Panes["JavaScript"].Visible", "false", 0); // to hide JS-Console

Great thanks. This will work good. Piecing all the different ways to execute a command with the SDK is, at time, difficult. I have also found how to do it in JavaScript since my last post.
