I was using the add-on builder until today, now that it's dead I'm using the command-line tools. The problem with cfx is that every time I run it, FF is killed and restarted, I then need to go through my add-on's sign-in process every time and since it's a clean version of FF I can't even get it to remember my login details. Needless to say, going through these steps every time is a huge waste of time.
Given it's a restartless add-on that uses the add-on SDK, is there any way to reload the add-on without restarting FF?
You can try Extension Auto-Installer by Wladimir Palant. It should give to you exactly what you're looking for.
You could use cfx xpi, then drag the file to Firefox to avoid restarting.
However, I suggest to just close the browser and specify a profile directory so that the state of the session is persisted across restarts:
cfx run --profiledir=/tmp/myprofile
or (Windows):
cfx run --profiledir=%TMP%\myprofile
(-p is a shorthand for --profiledir, so you can also use cfx run -p/tmp/myprofile)

I have deployed my application on WAS 8 as debug. The server status is [Debugging, Synchronized]. When I put breakpoints and start the application, it doesn't stop at the breakpoints. I don't see the debugger thread start either.
I am using RAD 8.0.4 and JDK 1.6.0_31. I have tried cleaning the project and re-deploying but it still doesn't work.
I was able to get it working via a complete clean install of my app. Then removing it from the server via add remove. Clearing cache from the websphere/profiles/myprofile directory. and clearing all bits of my app from the profiles folder via a search for its containing file aka (myproject-folder). Then re-installed the app via add remove on the server and it worked for me.
Best guess I have is something was actually out of sync even though the server though everything was A okay.
WebSphere is a PITA and seems to get out of state too easily.
I'd restart the server and perhaps do a clean on the server (right click on the server, click "Clean...". If that doesn't work, you'll have to take a careful look at the location of your break points. They might not be on code that's getting executed. Place a break point further upstream if necessary, follow it down just to confirm the flow.
I am using Google App Engine plugin with eclipse to create some web application, every time after I modify the program and run it, the modification does not take effect instantly. I have to kill the one (sometime mistakenly will kill the eclipse program) of the javaw.exe process and re-run again. Sometime it will hang at the "datanucleus enhancer".
I know it happen because the new javaw.exe run on the same port as the previous instance. But no point to kill the previous javaw.exe instance manually everytime, it is very annoying.
I thought I can save the source file and it will be automatically deploy to the development server, but it does not. What can I do so I do not have to manually kill the process?
If you run your app in debug mode-- that is, via Debug As > Web Application (rather than Run As > Web Application)-- it should reflect your changes to source. (For some changes it may need to terminate and restart the server, in which case it will notify you).
Is there a way to launch ColdFusion from the command-line?
I am not talking about launching the CF and related services with the net start command.
I remember doing this in the past. Basically, running CF from the command-line offered two advantages:
You didn't need to keep it as a Service and either have it always launch at boot-up or have to deal with the Services Manager
(more importantly) It echoed back to the screen all kinds of messages, especially error messages, which were helpful when actively developing (because you didn't need to go dig in the ColdFusion log files to find them)
It is possible that I'm mis-remembering and that this hasn't been available since ColdFusion 5.0. Is it at all possible with ColdFusion 9?
Update: Environment: Multi-server configuration with JRun.
Two ways to do this:
In development, add the server to ColdFusion Builder, and all the messages you talk about will show up in the console tab.
Start ColdFusion from the command line. The instructions are slightly different per environment but basically you want to get to bin directory and issue jrun start cfusion or coldfusion start or something similar . Post your environment for more specifics.
Go to C:\JRun\bin and issue jrun start cfusion
In your ColdFusion9/bin Folder you can find stop.bat and start.bat. Executing the latter gives you exactly what you want.
Is is possible to 'unleash', or whatever, a process in Eclipse that you've been debugging, or simply started with 'run'? Would be nice. After such an 'unleash-ment', the unleashed process should not die when Eclipse is shut down, and should be removed from the debug view, to avoid accidentally killing it. Essentially, become a regular application process.
thanks, -j
There is no such command/option in Eclipse and it might not even possible depending on the OS. If you want a Java process to survive the end of Eclipse, you must start it outside.
It's sad that, after more than a decade, creating standalone processes in Java is still so painful. There is the -jar option but there is no way to have more than a single main() method this way, few people know how to build a working classpath when starting your app this way.
I am getting WatiN.Core.Exceptions.TimeoutException:
Timeout while Internet Explorer busy error while executing my tests via CruiseControl.Net.
Any one have idea how to resolve this?
While we are using TeamCity, we had to disable IE protected mode.
Also, check that user, under which watiN tests are being run can interact with desktop.
I know this question is old and answered, but below are some of my observations.
It is possible to run watin tests under a service account
but the following restrictions/prerequisites apply:
service must run in desktop interactive mode. Only available if running as system.
tests must not create a new windows, even alert/confirm dialogs
Ie cannot create a new window, so watin fails when looking for/expecting it to appear.
ie may show its own warnings, e.g. Insecure content in a secure Page, this can cause tests to fail*
if the tests fail/timeout and the ie instance is forcefully closed, the next instance may try to restore the previous state. The tests then appear to fail*
this can be turned off in the advanced settings.
*from what I've experienced, usually because the prompt is halting the document from being reported as loading-finished.
Feel free to add with other restrictions /comments.
