Current Behavior

Activating the ScriptDebugger for Share either by setting the log4j.properties key to on like this: log4j.logger.org.springframework.extensions.webscripts.ScriptDebugger=on or activating it through clicking the button at http://localhost:8765/share/service/index results in a loop of errors that makes tha application hang forever.

Possible Solution

found a possible duplicate of this in jira that should be solved (but just concerning activation via log4j) https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/MNT-16129

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

Change client-debug to true in share-config-custom.xml (src/test/resources/share)
Set log4j.logger.org.springframework.extensions.webscripts.ScriptDebugger=on in the log4j.properties for share. (src/test/resources/share)
./run.sh
Try to login to Alfresco
Watch the log (and the lag)

Context

I am desperatly trying to debug the share-header.get.js to try to add some stuff in the site-configuration menu.

Add this to the main pom.xml in the alfresco-maven-plugin configuration:

<shareModules>
...
<!-- Fix for share javascript console bug -->
   <moduleDependency>
      <groupId>org.alfresco.3rdparty.com.asual.lesscss</groupId>
      <artifactId>lesscss-engine</artifactId>
      <version>1.5.0-patched</version>
   </moduleDependency>
</shareModules>

The "lesscss-engine" jar that is included by default is missing certain files which cause the problems. This patched jar has those missing files. (They should really make a patch of the latest version again and include that, or just have a separate jar with the missing files)

@tom-vandepoele, thank you a lot for the tip! It looks like replacing the jar (lesscss-engine-1.5.1.jar in my case) inside share.war with the "-patched" version seems to fix the problem.

I'm not quite sure about this - I compared the 2 jars and there is no extra file in either of them. But there are differing class files, so maybe the trick is hidden in them...?
