Has anybody found a solution for this problem? I myself also try to debug JavaScript code, so far with no success.

There is a support article saying that you should debug using a standalone browser. For this the article says to set the environment variable CEF_DEBUG_PORT to a port and access this via localhost in the browser.

This approach has so far been unsuccessful for me.

Any ideas how to fix this?

If you have access to a support base, take a look

In shot

  1. Make sure Chromium browser is chosen as embedded browser type in set windows_browser_type=chromium_browser in config.pro

  1. Set environment variable
set CEF_DEBUG_PORT=9222
  1. Then using another standalone Chrome browser, browse to this address on the same machine:
http://localhost:<port specified in env variable>/

    Thanks for the quick reply and help!

     

    Unfortunately this approach is not working.

    I open the system window in Creo and enter the command (see screenshot). There is no indication that something happens afterwards.

    When I open Chrom and try to access localhost:9222 I get a message that localhost has refused the connection (ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED).

     

    Any idea why this happens?
