| 1 | There are several possibilities for debugging XWiki: | ||
| 2 | |||
| 3 | {{toc/}} | ||
| 4 | |||
| 5 | = Debug mode = | ||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | [Since 7.1] | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | It's possible to enable debug log by adding ##debug=true## (as in [[http://127.0.0.1:8080/xwiki/bin/Main/WebHome?debug=true]]) to the URL. This provide various details on what exactly happens during the request. | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | == Elapsed time tree == | ||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | A detailed tree of how long has been spent in each step. You can add you own step to the tree by using [[progress API>>extensions:Extension.Job Module||anchor="HNotifyaboutprogress"]]. | ||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | {{image reference="elapsedtimetree.png"/}} | ||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | = Debugging XWiki from your IDE = | ||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | == Debugging with Eclipse == | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | Once you've gotten the debugger working, you'll wonder how you ever survived without it. | ||
| 22 | |||
| 23 | === Complete tutorial based on M2E and WTP === | ||
| 24 | |||
| 25 | [[Debug XWiki with Eclipse>>DebugXEWithEclipse]] | ||
| 26 | |||
| 27 | === Debug a XWiki released version === | ||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | * Follow the steps from [[Building In Eclipse>>BuildingInEclipse]] including the optional "Import the WAR as a web project". | ||
| 30 | * Select from the Eclipse menu **Run > Debug...** | ||
| 31 | * Create a new configuration for your server | ||
| 32 | * Hit the **Debug** button | ||
| 33 | * Set breakpoints, step through code, have fun! | ||
| 34 | |||
| 35 | WTP will deploy XWiki into ##{workspace_location}/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.wst.server.core/tmp0/webapps/xwiki##. If you suspect a change has not been deployed correctly (e.g. a change to a config file), check there to confirm. | ||
| 36 | |||
| 37 | If you are working on an XWiki plugin in a separate project in your workspace, you can ensure it is automatically deployed to XWiki's ##WEB-INF/lib## directory when debugging. Open the project properties of the XWiki project resulting from the WAR import above, go to the ##J2EE Module Dependencies## section, and add your plugin project. | ||
| 38 | |||
| 39 | === Using Firebug when debugging a selenium test === | ||
| 40 | |||
| 41 | For that you will need to install Firebug [[as a global extension>>http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installing_extensions#Global_installation]] | ||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | = Remote Debugging = | ||
| 44 | |||
| 45 | To perform remote debugging, start your wiki in debug mode. To do this you can: | ||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | * use the ##start_xwiki_debug.sh## executable if you're using the Standalone packaging | ||
| 48 | * modify the way you start your container and ensure that the following JVM parameters are passed:((( | ||
| 49 | {{code}} | ||
| 50 | -Xdebug -Xnoagent -Djava.compiler=NONE -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5005 | ||
| 51 | {{/code}} | ||
| 52 | |||
| 53 | For example, for Jetty you could use the following start script: | ||
| 54 | |||
| 55 | {{code}} | ||
| 56 | #!/bin/sh | ||
| 57 | |||
| 58 | JETTY_HOME=. | ||
| 59 | JETTY_PORT=8080 | ||
| 60 | JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx300m -Xdebug -Xnoagent -Djava.compiler=NONE -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5005" | ||
| 61 | |||
| 62 | java $JAVA_OPTS -Dfile.encoding=iso-8859-1 -Djetty.port=$JETTY_PORT -Djetty.home=$JETTY_HOME -jar $JETTY_HOME/start.jar | ||
| 63 | {{/code}} | ||
| 64 | |||
| 65 | If you are using the Tomcat service on Windows, you should modify the JVM args with the Tomcat Service Configuration Panel. Select the Java tab and add each of the options **on a separate line**. For example: | ||
| 66 | |||
| 67 | {{code}} | ||
| 68 | -Dcatalina.home=C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5 | ||
| 69 | -Dcatalina.base=C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5 | ||
| 70 | -Djava.endorsed.dirs=C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\common\endorsed | ||
| 71 | -Djava.io.tmpdir=C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\temp | ||
| 72 | -Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager | ||
| 73 | -Djava.util.logging.config.file=C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\conf\logging.properties | ||
| 74 | -Xdebug | ||
| 75 | -Xnoagent | ||
| 76 | -Djava.compiler=NONE | ||
| 77 | -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8000,server=y,suspend=n | ||
| 78 | {{/code}} | ||
| 79 | ))) | ||
| 80 | |||
| 81 | Then, in your favorite IDE, open the XWiki project and run a remote debugging session, attached to the socket on port 5005. For example, if you're using IntelliJ IDEA, go to ##Run|Edit Configurations...## and create a new ##Remote## configuration (default parameters should be fine). Then execute it and IDEA will connect to the executing JVM. | ||
| 82 | |||
| 83 | You can then place breakpoints in your source code. | ||
| 84 | |||
| 85 | Debugging options for ##start_xwiki_debug.sh##: | ||
| 86 | |||
| 87 | * Use the ##~-~-suspend## parameter to tell the JVM to wait until someone connect to the debugging port before progressing. | ||
| 88 | * Use the ##JETTY_DEBUG_PORT## environment variable to control the JVM debug port to use (default is ##5005##). | ||
| 89 | * {{version since="12.8RC1"}}Use the ##-dp <number>## (or ##-~-debugPort <number>##) parameter to control the JVM debug port to use (default is ##5005##).{{/version}} | ||
| 90 | |||
| 91 | = Logging = | ||
| 92 | |||
| 93 | == Turning on logging inside XWiki == | ||
| 94 | |||
| 95 | See the [[Logging page in the Admin guide>>xwiki:Documentation.AdminGuide.Logging]]. | ||
| 96 | |||
| 97 | == Logging shutdown operations == | ||
| 98 | |||
| 99 | {{info}}XWiki 6.3M1+{{/info}} To log debug information of what happens when there are shutdown operations, simply set the log level to ##DEBUG## for the ##org.xwiki.shutdown## logger: | ||
| 100 | |||
| 101 | {{code language="xml"}} | ||
| 102 | <logger name="org.xwiki.shutdown" level="info"/> | ||
| 103 | {{/code}} | ||
| 104 | |||
| 105 | == Logging calls at the database level == | ||
| 106 | |||
| 107 | You have several options: | ||
| 108 | |||
| 109 | * Configure Hibernate to log SQL calls. To do this edit XWiki's log configuration file (see the [[Logging page>>xwiki:Documentation.AdminGuide.Logging]]) and change the log level from ##warn## to ##trace## for the following:((( | ||
| 110 | {{code language="none"}} | ||
| 111 | <!-- Log HQL query parser activity --> | ||
| 112 | <logger name="org.hibernate.hql.ast.AST" level="warn"/> | ||
| 113 | <!-- Log just the SQL --> | ||
| 114 | <logger name="org.hibernate.SQL" level="warn"/> | ||
| 115 | <!-- Log JDBC bind parameters --> | ||
| 116 | <logger name="org.hibernate.type" level="warn"/> | ||
| 117 | <!-- Log schema export/update --> | ||
| 118 | <logger name="org.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl" level="warn"/> | ||
| 119 | <!-- Log HQL parse trees --> | ||
| 120 | <logger name="org.hibernate.hql" level="warn"/> | ||
| 121 | <!-- Log cache activity --> | ||
| 122 | <logger name="org.hibernate.cache" level="warn"/> | ||
| 123 | <!-- Log transaction activity --> | ||
| 124 | <logger name="org.hibernate.transaction" level="warn"/> | ||
| 125 | <!-- Log JDBC resource acquisition --> | ||
| 126 | <logger name="org.hibernate.jdbc" level="warn"/> | ||
| 127 | <!-- Enable the following line if you want to track down connection leakages when using | ||
| 128 | DriverManagerConnectionProvider --> | ||
| 129 | <logger name="org.hibernate.connection.DriverManagerConnectionProvider" level="warn"/> | ||
| 130 | <!-- Log prepared statement cache activity --> | ||
| 131 | <logger name="org.hibernate.ps.PreparedStatementCache" level="warn"/> | ||
| 132 | {{/code}} | ||
| 133 | ))) | ||
| 134 | * Use a wrapping JDBC driver such as [[log4jdbc>>http://code.google.com/p/log4jdbc/]] or [[p6spy>>http://sourceforge.net/projects/p6spy/]]. | ||
| 135 | * ((( | ||
| 136 | Turn on logging in your database. The configuration is database-dependent* | ||
| 137 | |||
| 138 | ((( | ||
| 139 | For **HSQLDB**. Two solutions:* Solution 1: Edit ##WEB-INF/hibernate.cfg.xml## and modify the URL connection property to add ##hsqldb.sqllog=3##, as in: | ||
| 140 | |||
| 141 | ((( | ||
| 142 | {{code language="none"}} | ||
| 143 | <property name="connection.url">jdbc:hsqldb:file:${environment.permanentDirectory}/database/xwiki_db;shutdown=true;hsqldb.sqllog=3</property> | ||
| 144 | {{/code}} | ||
| 145 | ))) | ||
| 146 | |||
| 147 | * Solution 2: Using Byteman (See the section below for more information). For example the following rule (tested on HSQLDB 2.3.1) will log SQL statements with parameters and schema when there's more than 1 parameter:((( | ||
| 148 | {{code language="none"}} | ||
| 149 | RULE Log SQL Statement | ||
| 150 | CLASS org.hsqldb.Session | ||
| 151 | METHOD executeCompiledStatement(org.hsqldb.Statement, Object[], int) | ||
| 152 | AT ENTRY | ||
| 153 | IF $2.length > 0 | ||
| 154 | DO traceln("SQL Statement = [" + $1.getSQL() + "], parameter 1 = [" + $2[0] + "], schema = [" + $1.getSchemaName().name + "]") | ||
| 155 | ENDRULE | ||
| 156 | {{/code}} | ||
| 157 | |||
| 158 | Will give for example: | ||
| 159 | |||
| 160 | {{code language="none"}} | ||
| 161 | SQL Statement = [select xwikidocum0_.XWD_ID as XWD1_0_0_, xwikidocum0_.XWD_FULLNAME as XWD2_0_0_, xwikidocum0_.XWD_NAME as XWD3_0_0_, xwikidocum0_.XWD_TITLE as XWD4_0_0_, xwikidocum0_.XWD_LANGUAGE as XWD5_0_0_, xwikidocum0_.XWD_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE as XWD6_0_0_, xwikidocum0_.XWD_TRANSLATION as XWD7_0_0_, xwikidocum0_.XWD_DATE as XWD8_0_0_, xwikidocum0_.XWD_CONTENT_UPDATE_DATE as XWD9_0_0_, xwikidocum0_.XWD_CREATION_DATE as XWD10_0_0_, xwikidocum0_.XWD_AUTHOR as XWD11_0_0_, xwikidocum0_.XWD_CONTENT_AUTHOR as XWD12_0_0_, xwikidocum0_.XWD_CREATOR as XWD13_0_0_, xwikidocum0_.XWD_WEB as XWD14_0_0_, xwikidocum0_.XWD_CONTENT as XWD15_0_0_, xwikidocum0_.XWD_VERSION as XWD16_0_0_, xwikidocum0_.XWD_CUSTOM_CLASS as XWD17_0_0_, xwikidocum0_.XWD_PARENT as XWD18_0_0_, xwikidocum0_.XWD_CLASS_XML as XWD19_0_0_, xwikidocum0_.XWD_ELEMENTS as XWD20_0_0_, xwikidocum0_.XWD_DEFAULT_TEMPLATE as XWD21_0_0_, xwikidocum0_.XWD_VALIDATION_SCRIPT as XWD22_0_0_, xwikidocum0_.XWD_COMMENT as XWD23_0_0_, xwikidocum0_.XWD_MINOREDIT as XWD24_0_0_, xwikidocum0_.XWD_SYNTAX_ID as XWD25_0_0_, xwikidocum0_.XWD_HIDDEN as XWD26_0_0_ from xwikidoc xwikidocum0_ where xwikidocum0_.XWD_ID=?], parameter 1 = [-4526159677276379501], schema = [TEST91] | ||
| 162 | {{/code}} | ||
| 163 | ))) | ||
| 164 | ))) | ||
| 165 | ))) | ||
| 166 | |||
| 167 | == Logging HTTP calls == | ||
| 168 | |||
| 169 | XWiki uses [[HTTP Client>>https://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga/]] in most places and logging what it does is easy. You'll need to add the following to XWiki's ##logback.xml## file: | ||
| 170 | |||
| 171 | {{code language="xml"}} | ||
| 172 | <logger name="org.apache.http" level="debug"/> | ||
| 173 | <logger name="org.apache.http.headers" level="debug"/> | ||
| 174 | <logger name="org.apache.http.wire" level="debug"/> | ||
| 175 | {{/code}} | ||
| 176 | |||
| 177 | == Using Byteman == | ||
| 178 | |||
| 179 | [[Byteman>>https://www.jboss.org/byteman]] is a great framework that allows to modify bytecode in a running JVM. It can easily be used to add logging (for ex) to find out what's happening in a running XWiki instance. Here's a quick tutorial: | ||
| 180 | |||
| 181 | * Download Byteman and unzip it in a directory. Set the ##$BYTEMAN_HOME## environment property to point to the directory where you've unzipped it. For example: | ||
| 182 | {{code}}export BYTEMAN_HOME=/Users/vmassol/dev/byteman/byteman-download-2.1.0{{/code}} | ||
| 183 | * Start an XWiki instance somewhere on the same machine | ||
| 184 | * Go to ##$BYTEMAN_HOME/bin## and connect Byteman to XWiki. For example: | ||
| 185 | {{code}}sh bminstall.sh -b -Dorg.jboss.byteman.transform.all jetty/start.jar{{/code}} | ||
| 186 | * Now create a Byteman rule by creating a file, for example ##my.btm## with the following:((( | ||
| 187 | {{code}} | ||
| 188 | RULE XWiki Docs loaded | ||
| 189 | CLASS XWikiHibernateStore | ||
| 190 | METHOD loadXWikiDoc | ||
| 191 | AT ENTRY | ||
| 192 | IF TRUE | ||
| 193 | DO traceln("Load document = " + $1.getDocumentReference()) | ||
| 194 | ENDRULE | ||
| 195 | {{/code}} | ||
| 196 | ))) | ||
| 197 | * Load this rule with: {{code}}sh bmsubmit.sh -l my.btm{{/code}} | ||
| 198 | * Call a URL in your wiki and check that the console prints the document references that get loaded! For example:((( | ||
| 199 | {{code}} | ||
| 200 | Load document = xwiki:Main.WebPreferences | ||
| 201 | Load document = xwiki:ColorThemes.DefaultColorTheme | ||
| 202 | Load document = xwiki:XWiki.SearchSuggestConfig | ||
| 203 | Load document = xwiki:XWiki.SearchSuggestConfig | ||
| 204 | Load document = xwiki:Dashboard.WebHome | ||
| 205 | Load document = xwiki:XWiki.GadgetClass | ||
| 206 | Load document = xwiki:Dashboard.WebHome | ||
| 207 | Load document = xwiki:Dashboard.WebPreferences | ||
| 208 | Load document = xwiki:Dashboard.colibri | ||
| 209 | Load document = xwiki:Main.Welcome | ||
| 210 | ... | ||
| 211 | {{/code}} | ||
| 212 | ))) | ||
| 213 | * Modify your rule or add new rules to the same file and apply the changes with {{code}}sh bmsubmit.sh -l my.btm{{/code}} | ||
| 214 | * Remove your rules with {{code}}sh bmsubmit.sh -u{{/code}} | ||

| 218 | === Examples === | ||
| 219 | |||
| 220 | ==== Example 1 ==== | ||
| 221 | |||
| 222 | In this example we'll print calls to ##CommonsConfigurationSource.containsKey(...)## with the parameters printed and the time it takes to execute. In addition we'll also print calls to ##XWiki.getDocument(String, XWikiContext)## which is a deprecated method which, for the purpose of this example, we think generate the calls to ##containsKey##. | ||

| 360 | |||
| 361 | = Debugging JavaScript = | ||
| 362 | |||
| 363 | The solution is to use the developer tools provided by the Browser for inspecting JavaScript and putting breakpoints in it. By default the XWiki build will minify and aggregate JavaScript files for performance reasons. | ||
| 364 | |||
| 365 | {{version since="12.7-rc-1"}} | ||
| 366 | Open the developer tools provided by the browser and put the breakpoints using the Debugger / Sources tab. Look for the //non-minified// (source) JavaScript code (Ctrl+P). You should be able to find it most of the time because the minified version (which is used by default) indicates its source map which in turn indicates the source code. So the browser ends up loading all 3 when the developer tools are open (shouldn't be the case for end users), which means you can run the minified version while viewing the progress step by step over the source (non-minified) version. If the source map is missing or the source URL is wrong then you can still debug step by step using the source code by adding ##?minify=false## to the URL of the current page. This will force the browser to load the non-minified version (and only that). | ||
| 367 | |||
| 368 | Note that JavaScript minification is not only about removing whitespace and renaming local variables. Depending on the minifier used it may also mean code optimizations, syntax suggar replacement, polyfill injection, etc. So the differences between the minified version and the source code could be significant. As a consequence: | ||
| 369 | |||
| 370 | * debugging step by step may behave strangely when there's no 1 to 1 mapping between the minified code and its source | ||
| 371 | * the non-minified (source) version might not work on all browsers; that's why we recommend using ##?minify=false## only with the latest versions of Firefox and Chrome. | ||
| 372 | {{/version}} | ||
| 373 | |||
| 374 | {{version since="7.1"}} | ||
| 375 | You can also set ##debug.minify## to ##false## in ##xwiki.properties## file instead of passing ##?minify=false## in the URL. | ||
| 376 | {{/version}} | ||
| 377 | |||
| 378 | {{version before="12.7-rc-1"}} | ||
| 379 | You had to do the following: | ||
| 380 | * Build XWiki with the ##debug## profile (##mvn clean install -Pdebug##) | ||
| 381 | * Once you're on a page make sure to pass ##?minify=false## in the URL. If you don't do this then the aggregated JS files are going to be referenced and since they don't exist, the JS code will break. | ||
| 382 | {{/version}} | ||
| 383 | |||
| 384 | |||
| 385 | == Debugging Vue.js == | ||
| 386 | |||
| 387 | The first step is to load a non-minified version of ##vue.js##. To do so, edit ##webapps/xwiki/resources/uicomponents/widgets/liveData.min.js## and replace {{code}}'vue': $services.webjars.url('vue', 'vue.min'){{/code}} by {{code}}'vue': $services.webjars.url('vue', 'vue'){{/code}}. | ||
| 388 | Then, install [[Vue Devtools>>https://devtools.vuejs.org/]] in Firefox or Chrome. | ||
| 389 | You should now have access to the Vue tab in you browser debugger, with the ability to inspect the Vue applications deployed in the page. | ||
| 390 | |||
| 391 | = Debugging the WYSIWYG editor = | ||
| 392 | |||
| 393 | Example to debug JS code in ##macroSelector.js##: | ||
| 394 | |||
| 395 | * Modify the top level CKEditor ##pom.xml## to remove minification (the important part is to add {{code}}--leave-js-unminified{{/code}} as on the example below):((( | ||
| 396 | {{code language="xml"}} | ||
| 397 | ... | ||

| 423 | ))) | ||
| 424 | * Rebuild the ##application-ckeditor-webjar## module (you'll also need to rebuild##application-ckeditor-plugins## if you made changes to it). | ||
| 425 | * Copy the generated ##application-ckeditor-webjar-<version>.jar## to an XWiki instance, in ##WEB-INF/lib## and restart XWiki | ||
| 426 | ** You could also remove the CKEditor extensions in the permanent's directory (in ##extensions/repository##) to be safe. | ||
| 427 | * In the wiki, edit ##CKEditor.EditSheet## in object mode and look for ###set ($macroWizardBundlePath = "${ckeditorBasePath}plugins/xwiki-macro/macroWizard.bundle.min")## and remove the ##.min## part. Note that in this case you have to know that the macro wizard is loaded separately in ##macroWizard.bundle.min.js##. Otherwise the JS is in ##ckeditor.js##. | ||
| 428 | * Use your browser's dev tools to put breakpoints in the JS. | ||
| 429 | |||
| 430 | = Analyze Out Of Memory issues = | ||
| 431 | |||
| 432 | You can enable automatic memory dump when using ##-XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -XX:HeapDumpPath=/where/to/save/the/memory/dumps ## which will generate a memory dump as soon as Java detect an Out Of memory error. See https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/troubleshoot/clopts001.html#CHDFDIJI for more details. | ||
| 433 | |||
| 434 | Since 7.2RC1 the option is enabled by default in Jetty based distributions and the memory dump will ends up in ##data/## folder. |
