Shell freezes after javascript error....

[Dominik Erbsland]

I have a GWT application. After logging in and passing around a "Tabs"
object I get an error message, the GWT shell crashes and freezes. all
I can do is to close the shell with the taskmanager.

I can't copy/paste the error in here since the shell freezes
immediately. I made a screenshot of it, though. Does anyone know what
this might cause the error?

here is the screenshot:

thanks for any help in advance.

Are you running IE7? It's JavaScript engine or something changed
behavior in an incompatible and undocumented way. The GWT team is
working on a workaround.

Had the same impossible error.

I found that just changing the output from OBF to PRETTY allowed me to
work around it.
strange but true.

Thanks, Brill.
Please help me out, where can I change OBF to PRETTY?
Thank you :)

on the command line (or check the 'command line' in the eclipse run
target), add -style PRETTY
e.g:

./MyProject-compile -style PRETTY

thanks for the tip. Unfortunately I still get a crash and freeze when
using SHELL mode.
is there any other fix?

And I still have not found out how to apply a patch to GWT. How can I
do this?

Thanks again.

Check out the source, and apply your patch to it... then rebuild and
use your new version.
