Description

Import the project from installation package, run the web mode and then debug the hosted mode.

The hosted mode browser starts and displays the index.html page, but running any applications doesn't work, the hosted mode browser stays empty.

On other occasions, after a while the debugger stops with some thread error (could not reproduce this).

Custom index page that works with linux hosted mode.

It looks like this is an issue with the new client-side loader code, which does not work with the hosted mode browser. Using the applications from multiapp.html works ok, probably as it doesn't use JavaScript? document.write() to generate content.

The problem occurs at least in Linux (Mozilla-based hosted mode browser), but might not occur in other systems.

Use custom index page as workaround when debugging with linux & mozilla 1.72 hosted mode browser.

FirefoxPortable? 1.5 works: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.10) Gecko/20070216 Firefox/1.5.0.10

FirefoxPortable? 1.0 does not work: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.13) Gecko/20060410 Firefox/1.0.8

Clarification: This seems to be a problem with moz 1.7 -based browsers, probably on any platform.

  • summary changed from Hosted mode browser does not work to Firefox 1.7 broken

So PLEASE do test this with all platforms and FF1.7.

  • summary changed from Firefox 1.7 broken to Firefox rv:1.7 broken

Firefox 1.7 is _not_ broken - in fact FF1.5.0.10 works, as seen above. It's the 'rv' version, whatever that means (gecko?) that's 1.7.

Gecko version: "rv:1.8.0.6, CVS Branch Tag, The version of Gecko being used in the browser" http://www.useragentstring.com/Firefox1.5.0.6_id_5803.php

in [4527]. At least should be. Didn't try with linux hosted mode as I don't have a proper environment set. Application servlet now has a rude hack to write special page for gecko 1.7. As a result client side debugging on linux hosted mode is enabled (again) with one limitation: in portals with multiple toolkit portlets on at the same time. I think we can live with this?

IMO this is the best we could do. Let's hope GWT 1.5 uses more modern Gecko in Linux Hosted Mode browser.
