#DBG Version of WinJS Scripts

Question

Hi all,

I notice that the WinJS scripts contain #DBG directives which include extra debugging code. For example:

        /*#DBG
        VERIFYLIST();
        VERIFYREFRESHLIST();
        #DBG*/

How do I take advantage of this?  Are there debug versions of base.js and ui.js or do I need to strip all of the #DBG comments by hand?

Hi Stephen

Can you tell us why you want to delete this comments?

My understanding you can treate this file like a official class library, needn't to modify it.

Answer 2

Hi Dino,

I want to take advantage of the extra debugging information. I assume that methods like VERIFYLIST() and VERIFYREFRESHLIST() will provide extra error information in case bad values are passed to WinJS methods.  How do I take advantage of these #DBG methods? Are there debug versions of the standard WinJS scripts?

Stephen,

They are not directives, they are commented code blocks!

Uncomment them but make sure you put them back or your app will perform very poorly.
