Reviewing Error Messages in the Interactive Reporting Console Window

The Console window records all error messages that occur from the time Interactive Reporting starts until the application is closed or the window is cleared (with Edit Clear). In Interactive Reporting, select View, then Console Window.

Note:

This example assumes that Sample1.bqy, used in Testing Scripts Using the Interactive Reporting Execution Window is open.

  To view error messages in the Console window:

  1. Select View, then Console Window.

  2. In the Execution window, change Activate() to activate().

  3. Press Enter.

    An error message is displayed in the Console and Execution windows.

    The message states that the error is in line 1 and is related to the activate method. Because JavaScript is case-sensitive, it does not recognize activate as Activate.

Scripts can include JavaScript statements that write specific messages to the Console window for debugging and troubleshooting. These messages can track the progress of script execution and the state of objects in the script.
