[Laszlo-dev] [JIRA] Created: (LPP-7394) Including the <debug/> tag defers the initialization of the debug console window

[Henry Minsky]

Well, indeed when I look at the script output, the debug window is being
instantiated after thescript tag block, for some reason I do not
understand.

When no <debug> tag is present, the SWFWriter helpfully instantiates a
LzDebugWindow, via a call
to LzDebug.makeDebugWindow. That calls new lz.LzDebugWindow, so it never
goes through the
canvas instantiator queue, so it shows up before everything else.

When the <debug> tag is present, it compiles like an ordinary view, and if
it's the first node in the
app, I don't understand why it doesn't show up first in the list of things
to be queued for instantiation, but
for some reason the stuff in the <script> block gets instantiated first.

Hey, in canvas.initDone, which instantiates stuff from the queue, I see this
code which puts anything
with a "initimmediate" attribute at the head of the queue.

    for ( var i = 0; i < isv.length; i++ ){
        var isi = isv[i];

        if ( isi['attrs'] && isi.attrs['initimmediate'] ){
            sva.push( isi );
        }

Do we document this anyplace? it's not in the schema. But maybe I can use it
to make the debugger
instantiate before anyone else.
    }
