Installation

The component has been developed to install on top of an existing Alfresco 4.0, 4.1, 4.2 or 5.0 installation. The javascript-console-repo-<version>.amp or javascript-console-share-<version>.amp needs to be installed into the Alfresco Repository / Share webapp using the Alfresco Module Management Tool:

java -jar alfresco-mmt.jar install javascript-console-repo-<version>.amp /path/to/alfresco.war
java -jar alfresco-mmt.jar install javascript-console-share-<version>.amp /path/to/share.war

You can also use the Alfresco Maven SDK to install or overlay the AMP during the build of a Repository / Share WAR project. See https://artifacts.alfresco.com/nexus/content/repositories/alfresco-docs/alfresco-lifecycle-aggregator/latest/plugins/alfresco-maven-plugin/advanced-usage.html for details.

Building

To build the module and its AMP / JAR files, run the following command from the base project directory:

mvn install

The command builds two JAR files named javascript-console-repo-<version>.jar / javascript-console-share-<version>.jar and javascript-console-repo-<version>-sources.jar / javascript-console-share-<version>-sources.jar as well as javascript-console-repo-<version>.amp / javascript-console-share-<version>.amp in the target directory within your project.

If you want to build the module so it can be installed and run in an Alfresco 4.0 / 4.1 server running on Java 6 you need to have a Java 6 JDK available. Either make sure that your JDK 6 is set as the default Java environment (PATH / JAVA_HOME environment variable) or run the build with the following command from the base project directory:

mvn install -P Java6-crossCompile -Djdk6.executable=/path/to/javac

Using the component

  • Log in to Alfresco Share and navigate to an Administration page such as Users or Groups
  • In the left-hand-side navigation, click Javascript Console
  • Enter Alfresco repository javascript code in the textarea at the top. Press the execute button to run the script.
  • You can use the special print(..) javascript command to output messages to the output window.
  • use Ctrl+Space for code completion. Note that only global objects and specific variables (document, space, variables ending in ...node) are completed.
