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](https://community.dreamfactory.com/t/custom-script-calling-get-system-user-api-crashes-swagger-fails/670 "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??? ## LOG EXTRACT: [2014-12-30 08:04:46][app][ERROR] REST Exception #404 \> “db.bsoc\_applaunch.get.pre\_process” was not found. {“host”:“[MYDOMAIN.info](http://MYDOMAIN.info)”,"req$ [2014-12-30 08:04:51][app][ERROR] \* System error deleting swagger cache file: portal.json [2014-12-30 08:04:51][app][INFO] Building Swagger cache [2014-12-30 08:04:51][app][DEBUG] \* Discovered 17 event(s).

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](https://github.com/dreamfactorysoftware/dsp-core/wiki/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 😄
