Access the logs from stack traces and other useful information.

Welcome to Aptana. My name is Michelle, and I'm going to be demonstrating the Console logging functionality of the Aptana JavaScript Debugger.

We'll start by debugging my web page. If you click the "debug" button, it'll open in Firefox, and I have a demonstration set up down here to show Console logging. So to start that, I'll click the "start test" button, switch to Aptana, going to switch to the "debug perspective," and you can see down here in the Console, I've got a stack trace.

Now, I haven't set up to break on a reference error, and it'll show me the stack trace of what's going on, and with these hyperlinks, I can actually go right to the line in the file, where it's giving me the problems.

Now, to set up dumping messages into the log functionality, I can either use the "Console dump log" function, Aptana.log or Aptana.trace.

That concludes this demonstration. Thank you.
