[CLOSED] Is Ext.NET conflict with glimpse?

[u8621011]

hello,

while we are trying to use glimpse to do profiling, we found ext.net will fail if glimpse is turned on.
(the failed request is url like this http://localhost:57511/extnet/extnet...adaf4e9e19d4d0)

chrome console network


below is the url response while i get it by browser



while turn off glimpse, everything is ok.


the response of the url while i get it by browser.


My environment:
MVC 4.0.40804,
Ext.NET 4.1.0
Glimpse 1.8.6
Glimpse.Ado 1.7.3
Glimpse.AspNet 1.8.0
Glimpse.EF6 1.6.5
Glimpse.Mvc4 1.5.3

Is that a known issue of glimpse compatable?

Hello @u8621011!

Unfortunately we can't guarantee Ext.NET is compatible with other 3rd-party extensions/profilling tools that manipulate the contents. We strive to make Ext.NET compatible with all modern browsers and that alone is a challenge. It seems your tool tries some specific fetches we can't just support. While we believe it is possible for you to make your tool work with Ext.NET it is not supposed to work out-of-the-shelf, some intermission from you would be necessary.

To try to help you a little with it, it seems the Glimpse tool tries to include the shared resource and interpret it in a separate context which does not link the init script with the requested page, breaking the supported life cycle. When the init script is fetched, code behind has to know which page is related to that query.

You have two lines of work in order to overcome this:
1. figure out a way for glimpse to let Ext.NET know its context while fetching the init script (harder)
2. change your web.config (maybe temporarily) to use initScriptMode="Inline" so that the init script is output in the page itself instead of a linked resource.

For 2, you can alternatively just set up this setting (instead of site/folder-wide Web.config) on the resource manager itself -- @Html.X().ResourceManager().InitScriptMode(InitScriptMode.Inline)

I hope this helps!
