    23 Dec: Google Chrome and why I use it for Flex debugging

    posted by: martijn, at 23 December 2008 9:53 GMT+1, 23 December 2008 13:48 GMT+1

    Google Chrome on Windows is my new default browser at work (I use Mac at home, Windows at work). It is perfect for debugging my Flex apps because since Flex Builder 3.0.2 update debugging is working not perfect. Flex builder freezes my complete system trying to get a connection with the debug player. 40% of the time it failes :(

     

    Here comes my love for Chrome, it detects Flash Player crashes and stops the plugin (although it still costs a lot of time). A problem with Chrome for normal usage is it's failure with the Adobe Feeds page, it cannot open the links.

    On my Mac at home I don't have the same problems with Flex Builder 3.0.2, so it could be a Windows problem.

    I filled a bug on bugs.adobe.com

       Not sure how to interpret you comment about hanging, but Chrome does not seem to work in debugging mode.  Chrome stops responding (fine) but I cannot get to the debugging window!

       Found the answer on http://polygeek.com/tag/flexbuilder-tips - look for Chrome Cache Issue.  Apparently Chrome caches relentlessly.  You switch it off with the  -sandbox parameter in the parameters box when you  edit the browser properties
