The Genero Web Client for JavaScript (GWC-JS) interface provides debug options for troubleshooting applications.

Running a GWC-JS app in debug mode
Debug mode can be activated by:
- Configuring the Genero Application Server to run in development mode with the --development flag. This enables debug mode for all launched applications. See Configure development environment.
- Adding the query string parameter "debugMode=1" to the URL. For example: http://localhost:6394/ua/r/HelloWorld?debugMode=1
- Typing "gbc.DebugService.activate()" in the browser JavaScript console. The JavaScript console is provided by Web browsers as part of their developer tools. Once activated, the application remains in debug mode until the browser is refreshed.
Debug Icons
When the GWC-JS is running in debug mode, the debug icons are displayed along side the standard
icons in the toolbar (see GWC-JS application page). Hovering your mouse
over the icons shows text that describe their function.
