Debugging Dojo 0.9: missing dojo.hostenv.writeIncludes

[guest]

In 0.4 there was dojo.hostenv.writeIncludes() to get all loaded modules written to a script-tag for debugging. Now I can't find it anymore. There ist just the stub dojo._writeIncludes().

How to debug Dojo 0.9 modules?

After all, the Dojo Book 0.9 isn't updated in this matter yet.

The old debugAtAllCosts functionality caused a lot of issues, and a lot of support questions, so we were hoping to find something that worked better, or tools that supported direct debugging of evaled code.

For instance, the in-development Fireclipse Firefox plugin. It adds support for evaled debugging to Firebug. You can get it from ​http://fireclipse.xucia.com.

There is an open ticket to support debugAtAllCosts in ticket #3583. It is marked for the 1.1 release, but I hope to have something for 1.0, assuming we can get agreement on the approach.

I'll see if I can update the Dojo 0.9 book to contain this info.

I updated the book page with the info I mentioned above: http://dojotoolkit.org/book/dojo-book-0-9/part-4-meta-dojo/debugging-facilities/debugging-flags

Thanks for finding the documentation problem. I'm going to close this bug as fixed, and use #3583 to track progress with a debugAtAllCosts replacement.
