Thought using /thunderbird -debugger
would start TB and debugger at once.

Not the case here.

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:5.0) Gecko/20110615 Thunderbird/5.0b2pre
JavaScript Debugger 0.9.88.2 (bumped for TB5)

Is that the real .2 or .1 with the version changed for TB5? The real .2 includes
a fix for JSD asynchronous starting, included in TB5.

From my install {f13b157f-b174-47e7-a34d-4815ddfdfeb8}.xpi here are the
current details in install.rdf:

<em:version>0.9.88.2</em:version>
for TB: <em:maxVersion>7.0a1</em:maxVersion>
for SM: <em:maxVersion>2.4a1</em:maxVersion>
for FX: <em:maxVersion>5.*</em:maxVersion>

Don't know if important for start process: No entry for <em:unpack>
so the XPI is stored as {..}.XPI to profile directory (see above)

That wasn't what I meant to ask. You wrote "bumped for TB5". So I wanted to know
if you changed the version of the 0.9.88.1 XPI file manually, or genuinely
installed 0.9.88.2.

For good measure, try installing 0.9.88.2 from AMO and see if that helps.

Sorry for confusion .. had to bump in the past, so maybe I didn't
remembered if it was done here also.
But ok, I did a deinstall of Venkman, restarted, downloaded from AMO
0.9.88.2., restarted, activated Venkman. So far all OK.
Stopped TB; used /thunderbird -debugger (as described with first post),
TB started but Venkman NOT!

And here is somemore details with starting from console:

1. I had fire/chromebug active, got:
~$ /var/mozilla/thunderbird5/thunderbird -debugger
Turned on JSD at startup
Chromebug Command Line Handler taking arguments from state:0
Chromebug Command Line Handler arguments on cmdLine: 1.0)-debugger
Warning: unrecognized command line flag -debugger

so disabling fire/chromebug, got:

2. ~$ /var/mozilla/thunderbird5/thunderbird -debugger

~$ /var/mozilla/thunderbird33/thunderbird -debugger
Turned on JSD at startup
Warning: unrecognized command line flag -debugger

BTW, can we have that version in the venkman hg repo as well, pretty
please? ;-)

Done for 'hg repo' and not already solved the startup situation?

Yeah, solving the startup situation is going to take considerably more work than
committing a single character textfile change to an hg repo, I'm afraid, and I'm
not sure if/when I will have the time to investigate this further... Have you
checked if there are already bugs on file about this? There might be...

Sorry,
Gijs

Thanks for clarification .. not that important to have it started
automatically .. a nice to have feature.

Thanks. So all the AMO version had changed was the version number? Also
good to know. ;-)

Though I guess the install.rdf maxVersion settings in the source could
be adopted to current Nightlies out there as well...

(Oh, and I already have submitted a German langpack to AMO for this and
the current cZ version.)

Well, from trunk. There were some fixes to actually make it *work* on 'new'
versions of Firefox/TB/Seamonkey/XULRunner/etc. compared to the .1 release. Not
much else, that I recall.

I didn't want to change the rest of the maxversions in the source because I am
actually unsure how well it works on current nightlies...

Cheers,
Gijs

Sure: I just was talking in terms of changes between what was on the
repo and what was released on AMO.

I understand. I haven't done much testing myself recently. And we all
know that the current JSDs days are probably counted.
