S-S Scripting broken

Server-Side Scripting
1

Seems that on my instance of DSP any attempt on server-side scripting breaks.
Even adding a single line comment breaks the relevant calls.
Anybody seen this before, could it be install related or script engine related?

I have not seen this before, @rbleeker. Could you provide us some more details?

  1. Was scripting working previously, but now whenever you modify a script it breaks?
  2. What error or other behavior are you seeing when it breaks? What is logged in your web.*.log file (found in /htdocs/log/) when it breaks?
  3. What steps can we take to replicate this behavior? What environment are you using so that we may replicate that too?

Hi @jeffreystables,

It sounds a similar issue to this: get system user crashes swagger

  1. Didn’t work for me at any stage. Tried re-installing DSP (1.8.2) several times, on brand new instances of Ubuntu14.04, 14.10, and now on Debian 7.7. No difference, system works fine until I add any text to a Server-Side script… I do mean it breaks only the Server-Side script associated calls. It breaks both the online and iOS API calls. Tried the both DSP ios-sdk and AFNetworking classes in the native iOS app.

  2. I add a single comment “//hello” (or anything at all without the quotes) in a GET pre-processor (same issues for pre & post), then make a call with the associated GET API “db.bsoc_applaunch.get” (using online interface as it’s easiest to test) just to get a list of records, then it thinks for a while and reloads the API doc’s iframe with a error’ed copy of the DSP site (or part of the site). See log extract below.

  3. probably already explained in 1 &2 above.

Main culprit seems to point to V8Js.php???

Hi, following up more on the V8Js error, I found some previous mention about this missing library from the git install of DSP.

Found the linked article on how to install the V8Js library: Installing-V8js

I stumbled my way though the instructions and got it installed, did have to adjust a missing directory path error but with a little ‘ls’ directory searching I found what file was trying to be copied.

I haven’t tried a full Server-Side script yet, but at least it doesn’t break with the simple comment text in the pre-process script.

Tomorrow I will test a full script, but expect it to be fine now… fingers crossed.

Thanks @jeffreystables for prompting me to dig a little more in the error logs :smile:
