Debugging Server side javascript breaks the site

[sid_da]

When I enable server side debugging by setting org.apache.sling.scripting.javascript.debug=true. I get the following error message when I try to access my page. See image for error.

Can anyone please advise on how to properly debug server side javascript. Many Thanks!

I guess you can easily use logger in sightly JS file like log.info("Hello info log");

is this what you are referring?

Hi,

 can you please refer where are you exactly setting org.apache.sling.scripting.javascript.debug = true

[sid_da]

In the sling.properties file located under crx-quickstart/conf directory.

There are no tools for efficient JavaScript debugging in Sling / AEM . What you mentioned to be used is the Sling JavaScript debugger that still an alpha tool available for ECMA / ESP scripts used for rendering components.  Also we did not documented in our pages if you have seen that in our official documentation pages please provide the link will get the document fixed.
