Hi Sebastian,

I did get the JbDemoApplication to run in the browser.  The concepts seem simple enough.  Thank you for your assistance.

The next step for me was to run

"JbSmalltalkToJavaScriptExporter exportClasses: {JbDemoApplication.  JbApplication} packages: #() inNewFileNamed: 'demo.js'"

to see the generated javascript.  However, I cannot get the generated code to run.

I'll take look another look and see what's going on tomorrow.

Hi Craig,

First you should check the tests and run them 1 by 1.
Your default browser should open and you should see a PharoJS logo following a websocket log.
If that is working correctly then you have loaded all needed sources and your image should be fine.

There is general problem with the JSWorkspace and JSPlayground. If timeouts occur then it seems as if the image is busted and no PharoJS code works anymore.
In my case it usually helps to just start one of the interactive unit tests or to close and open the image.

Please read the class comments of JBBridge and other documented classes. This will give you a better understanding of how PharoJS actually works.

If you "doit" a "JbDemoApplication start" then your default web browser should open and you should see a green rectangle asking you to click on it.
You can put a "self halt" into the "setupDOM" method and especially into the callback handler blocks,.... see what it does,... you can debug the JS app within Pharo and the app changes live in the browser....

There is also the class "JbBrowserExamples" which has two scripts on the class side. Copy them into a JSPlayground and inspect them.
The action should take place in the browser opened while you opened the JSPlayground.
But be aware! Those scripts do not stop the websocket nor the proxy and it usually does not take long until you have to restart/reset the image....

I hope that helps a little?!

Sebastian
