Hi,

I cant get Debug to work, I'm using Netbeans and the URL_rewrite is active.

I've read all over the place but I never saw this message...

it would be very helpfull especialy if you are using REST services or you have some problem on production servers and you can not switch on debug on the view to redirect all debug information (Configure::read('debug') > 0) into some log file (the best into debug.log).

So I have finally got around to upgrading to 2.4.3 today, Have been using DebugKit without problems on 2.3.1 for a year now! So I uninstalled DebugKit - upgraded to 2.4.3 and re-installed the latest Debugkit from here - now I get a whole load of:

Uncaught TypeError: Property '$' of object [object Object] is not a function

In Chrome console when viewing any page on my site that has JQuery on it and all Jquery stops working on the page, if I disable DebugKit everything is ok again.

I'm also running asset_compress which has jquery 1.9.1 in it - could this be anything to do with it?

Any hints?

During development there are many times when one disables cache to check things (or simply keep it disabled while developing). But with cache disabled ToolbarComponent::_createCacheConfig() bails out on creating the cache config needed for saving the history entries. It would be nice if we could have the history feature functional even with caching disabled in app config.

Hi.

I've tried to debug this and failed - tbh, I don't see why I don't always get this error...

When I use the history panel to display previous requests, and select a redirected request (I was trying to view a login request) I get an error: Undefined index: default [CORE/plugins/debug_kit/views/elements/sql_log_panel.ctp, line 36]

From the traces given (and added debugs):
$content = array(
"connections" => array(
"default" => true
),
"threshold" => 20
);

This is the same as in non-redirected requests - yet only throws an error on redirected requests.

While using History tab, I am constantly getting "History retrieval failed" alert.

The XHR response of the request /debug_kit/toolbar_access/history_state/1 outputs (repeatedly):

Notice (8): Undefined index: elementName [APP/Plugin/DebugKit/View/ToolbarAccess/history_state.ctp, line 24]
Notice (8): Undefined index: content [APP/Plugin/DebugKit/View/ToolbarAccess/history_state.ctp, line 25]
Notice (8): Undefined index: plugin [APP/Plugin/DebugKit/View/ToolbarAccess/history_state.ctp, line 27]

I changed the code in View/ToolbarAccess/history_state.ctp to:

foreach ($toolbarState as $panelName => $panel) {
       + if (empty($panel) || empty($panel['elementName'])) continue;
       ...
}

Now the request returns:

{ 
  "environment" : "<h2>App Constants</h2>...",
  "include" : "<h2> Included Files</h2>...",
  "log" : "<h2>Logs</h2>...",
  "request" : "<h2> Request</h2>...",
  "session" : "<h2>Session</h2>...",
  "sqllog" : "<h2>Sql Logs</h2>...",
  "timer" : "...",
  "variables" : "<h2> View Variables</h2>..."
}

This is my first time using DebugKit, so I might be doing something wrong.

HOW TO REPEAT

Just cloned master from github, loaded it in bootstrap and also tried adding "'DebugKit.Toolbar' => array( 'history' => 8)" to the $components var to see if it was at all enabled.

I tried to install DebugKit for cakePHP and here's how I did it: first of all I downloaded a zip file of the debug_master_kit from github, then I created a folder named DebugKit in app\Plugin directory. Then I set debug mode to 1 in core.php file in app\Config directory. Next, I added CakePlugin::load('DebugKit') in the bootstrap.php file in app\Config directory. Finally, I edited the AppController.php file in app\Controller directory. But there was error. The error screenshot is attached here. I expected to see a change in the changelog of cakePHP saying DebugKit is installed. What should I do now?

Created by Sam, 17th May 2013. (originally Lighthouse ticket #125):

Hi,

I am trying to use the debugger kit on an application (running correctly) but it always shows as "Request" in the DebuggerKit , for section Cake Params:

  pass(empty)
  named(empty)
  controller: home
  plugin(null)
  action: index
  form(empty)
  url

So I have for controller and action always the pair (home,index).
So I investigated and that seems to be because I have a javascript menu which uses AJAX request this way:

new Ajax.Updater('working_zone','components/consult', [...])

which calls method consult of the components controller and display the render of the controller in :

<div id="working_zone"></div>

Is there a way to deal with this way of calling the controllers so that the DebuggerKit can "catch" the requests ?

_I am using Cake 1.2 with associated DebuggerKit with mod_rewrite disabled_

Thanks,

Sam.

DebugKit loads but doesn't shut it's bar when I call render("index", false) manually inside my view. (I know I should be using elements) It otherwise loads properly but views/debug.php::render() should not attempt to load the JS file when there's no layout attached to the render()

views/debug.php, line 91:

            if (empty($this->params['requested']) && isset($this->loaded['toolbar'])) {

should be:

            if (empty($this->params['requested']) && isset($this->loaded['toolbar']) && $layout !== false) {

Apparently when it tries to append the JS file to $scripts_for_layout (via $this->Html->script($file)), script() doesnt load it a second time when render() is called with the default layout (thinking it was already loaded). DebugKit otherwise works but the bar sticks open and won't close.

I'm probably taking risks in general by calling $this->render() within my view itself (I'll definitely move away from that and towards requestAction() or element()), but still would think that the debugkit rendering should protect itself from invalid calls (as it does with $this->params['requested'])

I have tried to install DebugKit on two separate sites and I have had the same problem both times.

Below is the exact error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in /home2/regentsr/public_html/app/Plugin/DebugKit/Controller/Component/ToolbarComponent.php on line 179

My PHP version is: 5.4.24
Cake version 2.4.4 (downloaded 30 minutes ago)
DebugKit downloaded from: https://github.com/cakephp/debug_kit as a zip file 15 minutes ago.

I have done a fresh install of Cake. The first this I have done is to install DebugKit. I followed the instructions to install as best I can tell exactly from the same DebugKit download site. the only things I have changed are (as according to installation instructions):

bootstrap
appcontroller
core
default

I thought I would not get this error since everything is entirely downloaded just now. Any ideas? Do you need me to put any additional code here?

Thank you very much.

Hi. Perplexed by this error. PHP 5.3.3 and Cake 2.2.3.

What I did:
Unzipped the debug_kit-master.zip into Plugin/DebugKit.

bootstrap.php - uncommented CakePlugin::load('DebugKit');

core.php - Configure::write('debug',1 );

composer.json looks like this - but I also got the error when not including the "cake/php/debug_kit": 2.2.*" line:

"require": {
        "php": ">=5.3.0",
        "composer/installers": "*",
        "cakephp/debug_kit": "2.2.*"
    }

The ToolbarComponent.php file with DebugKit contains this:

class ToolbarComponent extends Component implements CakeEventListener {

So, it doesn't seem like I should add class ToolbarComponent extends Component { to that?

I made a copy of ToolbarComponent.php from the plugin files and added it to app/Controller/Component/ (per the error), but still get the exact same error.

Appreciate any help. Thanks!

DebugKit.Toolbar loads itself before the matching closing tag </body>.

        $view->output = preg_replace('#</body>#', $toolbar . "\n</body>", $view->output, 1);

...

But what happens when our view output contains </body> ?

For example (inline javascript) :

<?php $this->append('script'); ?>
<script>
    var w = window.open();
        w.write('<html><head></head><body>Hello !</body></html>');

<?php $this->end(); ?>

Output will be altered at the wrong place...
I didn't find any other examples.
I think closing tag must be the LAST FOUND to solve this problem.

Let me know.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature request.

I notice view variables or any model queries in Controller::beforeRender are not showing in the DebugKit Toolbar Variables/SqlLog tabs.

I'm guessing this is the case because Controller::beforeRender is occurring after the toolbar is generated.

When clicking on the explain link, the hash generated and sent in the post request does not match the generated hash on the sql_explain controller action and causing it to fail with a Invalid parameters exception every time the "explain" link is clicked. Have not been able to track down the root of the problem yet.

Since CakePHP 2.4.3, adding the DebugKit.Toolbar component to a controller in my dev environment produces a PHP segmentation fault (as logged in /var/log/apache2/error.log) and a connection reset on the client (Firefox), unless CakePHP debug level is set to 0 (i.e. Configure::write('debug', 0) in app/Config/core.php), in which case the script doesn't crash and CakePHP returns the following flash message: "Error: The requested address '/my/project/webroot/' was not found on this server." along with some more details in app/tmp/logs/error.log:

Loading the plug-in without adding the component to a controller works just fine, no errors. I'm using PHP 5.3.10 and a bare, fresh install of CakePHP 2.4.3 and DebugKit 2.2.2. Any idea how to debug this?

I'm unable to find the error an solve it. Debug kit works fine in chrome but in Firefox it shows error and its toolbar is not working.
I've followed all the installation procedures given. And it working properly in chrome does suggest that there is not any error.

I am using debug kit but it's not displaying all sql log queries. I think it's generated from PDO class.
Please help for solving

It also happens if Cache engine is File or Memcache.

    [/events/index/page:3/Uk3] => Array
        (

)

Example: I have a table 'events' that has a column 'uk3_id' to another table 'uk3' with columns 'id' and 'code'. I am filtering the data by the code value of 'BOARD' and placed it in the named array which is then loaded into the 'url' of the paginator options.

From log file, this is the value of params array before doing the pagination.

        )

    [pass] => Array
        (

In order to make pagination work I create a conditions array like this

2011-11-03 09:49:59 Error: paginate conditions=Array
(
    [Uk3.code] => BOARD
)

And then in the view

$this->Paginator->options(array(
    'url' => $this->request->params['named'],
));

The paginator then creates links like this for page 1,2,etc..

http://localhost/warehouse/events/index/page:3/Uk3[code]:BOARD

And when clicking on that link not the first time, but the second time, DebugKit throws the warning.
I was thinking the paginator url might need to be like this instead:

http://localhost/warehouse/events/index/page:3/Uk3.code:BOARD

but the 2.0 Book says the other format is allowed (Routing section)

The above would generate the url /posts/index/filter[published]:1/filter[frontpage]:1. The parameters are then parsed and stored in your controller’s passedArgs variable as an array, just as you sent them to Router::url:

There's some javascript code in the history_panel.ctp and sqllog_panel.ctp.

Isn't it better to put them all in js_debug_toolbar.js, and convert the javascript code into a jquery plugin ? That way, it would be compatible with AMD.

It would be nice if timer bars, that are caused by the toolbar itself, would show up as "light green", so are not as visible as the rest of the bars.

E.g. "processing toolbar data"

If that can be decided - which I think it can.

Could this be caused by the engine being set to FILE on line 376 of debug_kit/Controller/Component/ToolbarComponent.php?

Working with master, when trying to load history state I'm getting the "History retrieval" error. It's caused because of Cake trying to load the history_state.ctp view from View/ToolbarAccess/json folder, when it's located in View/ToolbarAccess folder. RequestHandler is properly marking the request as "json". Might I be missing any configuration?

I am not sure if it is a bug or it was intended to be this way but when I try to write into a log file that is not configured in the bootstrap.php then no record is created. For example: $this->log("i am not logged to file", "test_log");. But it is logged if the debug kit is turned off or when the debug level is 0. Quite annoying.

Though the log records are always displayed in the debug kit log panel.

In my beforeFilter method in the AppController, Config.language is already set.

Consider the following code:

function  beforeFilter() {
    debug(Configure::read('Config'));

above line gives with debug kit turned on (it's in the components array)
app/app_controller.php (line 32)

Array
(
[language] => nl
)

With debugkit removed from the components array
app/app_controller.php (line 32)

This is due to the use of __d() translation functions used in ToolbarComponent::initialize.. It automatically sets the Config.language

For debugging l10n stuff etc, it would be nice that it leave Config.language intact

PS it's the debug kit for the 1.3 version

Following the discussion on 4092a0e the HTML comments giving file paths for elements/views/layouts should be re-added only when the output format is HTML.

I've been trying to install DebugKit and I can't get it to work. I've followed all the instructions provided by DebugKit in ther github repository. Here are the steps I followed:

1. Install CakePHP and check installation.
2. Download the latest DebugKit 2.2.1 which is compatible with Cake 2.4
3. Copy the contents to the cake/plugins/DebugKit folder.
4. Called CakePlugin::load('DebugKit'); in app/Config/bootstrap.php
5. Included toolbar component by calling public $components = array('DebugKit.Toolbar'); within the class of AppController.php
6. Set Configure::write('debug', 1); in app/Config/core.php
7. Removed the 'sql_dump' element from my layout in app/View/Layouts/default.ctp

After doing all that I got the following errors:

Error: The application is trying to load a file from the DebugKit plugin

Error: Make sure your plugin DebugKit is in the app\Plugin directory and was loaded

What I have tried:

1. Not removing sql_dump element.
2. I made sure that the plugin call matches the DebugKit folder name.
3. Follow the instructions of this forum and others that solved the exact error but with earlier versions of both cake and debugkit.
4. Made a fresh reinstall of both Cake and DebugKit.

And still haven't solved the problem. BTW, I'm new to CakePHP so if I'm missing anything too obvious I apologize.

Here is an image that shows the structure of my project (it says Cake_2_0 but that's just the name of the folder, I'm using Cake 2.4.1), I'm using XAMPP as my server. Thanks,

Daniel

Hello, I just installed DebugKit in a Croogo1.5.5 (a powerful cakephp cms, as you might know ;-)

It works great, but it appears also to non-logged-in visitors, what I find quite dangerous...

Is it a normal behaviour or is it specific to being used within Croogo ?
Is there a way to make it appear only to administrators ?

Thanks in advance !

I might be mistaken but it looks as though 0.3.2 means we can use FirePHP without modifying the agent header:
http://www.firephp.org/Wiki/Reference/FAQ

Which would mean that the session would stay valid even if we turn Firebug on and off:
