bacbone js views failing silently in desktop air - backbone.js

The app is running without problems in web browsers and packaged for iPad, but as soon as it's installed and running in a desktop environment it silently fails!
I have found the bug to lie with the instantiation of views.
I am calling: var PageView = Backbone.View.extend({ ... }); with a standard el, initialize and render, but none of them trigger! (nothing happens, no alerts or logs)
If any of it triggered i would have posted the code, but it doesn't seem like any of it is running at all - just silently failing.
I am more than happy to supply more information, but i am unsure of what exactly to share.
Is this a known issue?

The newest backbonejs file fixed the problem.

SilkTest Identify/Locator Spy Window not seeing any objects in web browser window

SilkTest Locator spy is unable to recognize any of my web applications. It will see the main html page but no of the dom elements that lie Under it. It is weird because it used to work but im not sure if a setting change can cause this. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling silktest and I get the same problems.
I concur with Ralph, remember that Firefox and Chrome are on a 6 week release schedule which means that you could have an incompatible version of one of these browsers. Check the Micro Focus Support site to see what version of Silk Test supports the versions of the browser that you are using. Good Luck.
Try after adding 'application configuration' for all apps to spy objects in silkTest with locator spy.
Locator spy identifies only those applications which are added in application configurations.

Protractor tests on BrowserStack iPhone devices are not working

For some reason the iPhone devices are never able to load the url requested by Protractor, they always show a blank page. It tries to load the url several times and then gives up.
The other BrowerStack devices all seem to work, including Windows, Android, and Safari/Macbook.
Has anyone encountered a similar problem?
For reference, we're using Protractor v2.2.0 (have not been able to updated because we're stuck in an old version of NodeJS, but we could try if that is the cause of the issue).

ionic mobile app gives white screen

I have created one ionic app it runs perfectly fine in browser but when I convert it into app it gives white screen.
I have already install white list plugin and allowed all url in config and also have kept meta tag. Am not able to find any other solution.
When kept simple html file am able to view it.
Any help will be grateful.May be good way to debug will be also good.
Connect your phone to PC with USB cable and remember to keep USB Debugging On. Now, navigate to chrome://inspect. You'll find the device name and click on "inspect". On Console tab, the error list will give you a hint about what is wrong there.
In my case, a custom service was Injected in controller which had been removed at some time as It was not used anywhere.
Ok just answering this question so it will be helpful to all.
Below blog was helpful for me that how I can debug
http://gonehybrid.com/how-to-debug-the-white-screen-of-death-in-your-ionic-app/
And guess what was issue, folder name in app is case sensitive. I was just need to change a folder name as per exact case sensitive path I provide in index file.
Mostly such thing occures because of a javascript error. You say it runs in your browser. Are there some exception in the console?
Not everythings is equal between browser and device, for example plugins. You have to be sure, that all used plugins are installed properly.
If you deploy on android, you can use android monitor to get console output. On ios xcode has already an integrated debugger.
I had this horrible issue because I compiled my Android application with Cordova 6.x and the project worked with CrossWalk plugin. In my case, the solution was uninstalling Crosswalk. If your project has installed that plugin, try to uninstall it and compile your project again.

AngularJS app is not loading on Safari (iOS 5.1.1) back button. Any suggestions?

I've ran into an issue with Safari on iOS 5.1.1 and Angular where I am doing paginated results. After I decide to leave the page that is hosting the app, and then come back to the page by using the browser's history back button.
The application is not initialized so as I scroll again, the pagination functionality is not triggered.
Since 5.1.1 doesn't provide a web inspector, I had to rely on console.log to print events that I want to see that it's executing. On initial load, I see everything ok, but when I am back through the back button nothing fires.
My usual ways of fixing this are not working. Here are the things I've tried:
Used manual bootstrapping of Angular app
Made the page not support caching and expire the page as soon as it's rendered.
Neither of these helped, which is why I am here asking for some suggestions. Unfortunately it's not a very easy thing to replicate through a Fiddle or a hosted HTML file so I am unable to provide one. Hoping that some of you may have experienced this before.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Answer is quite late and I hope you found a solution already but it might be useful for others.
Unfortunately I won't be able to answer why the app is not initialized (due to the lack of code) but I can give you some tools/tips to ease the debugging (assuming you have the iOS simulator).
Debuging on mobile safari can be done either :
with weinre and get the features of the web concole,
or by enabling remote debugging in Mobile Safari itself, see here
Yea, same problem here with iOS 7. It must send the DOM structure over before running any javascript. Kinda pointless...
Since the problem is with mobile safari and since it supports popstate event, you can use this event to detect when the user is back in combination with $location.path(), for example:
$(window).bind("popstate", function () {
alert(location.pathname + $location.path());
});

IBM worklight and Dojo mobile

I am new to IBM worklight.I have created a application using Dojo mobile,Dragged and dropped the widgets into Rich Page Editor but when I run the app or check the result in preview,the widgets are not getting displayed
Technically it shouldn't create any issue unless until something goes wrong, try to open the browser console, there must be something fishy which creating the issue.
If possible share the code to debug the issue otherwise it's tough to provide any pointers without having use case.
Open your mobile app in a JavaScript Debug Environment (Firebug) and look for errors!!!
It could also be possible that the dojo.parser is not running. You can trigger that manually by doing the following:
Configure your application that dojo-parser wont get invoked automatically.
<script type="text/javascript" src="dojo/dojo.js"
data-dojo-config="parseOnLoad: false">
</script>
Trigger parser after dom-ready event got fired.
require(["dojo/parser", "dojo/ready"], function(parser, ready){
ready(function(){
parser.parse();
});
});
In dojo, it won't render in the preview (not correctly if it does). Try to download the Android SDK and run it on the emulator. I have had the same issue with the browser simulator and Dojo mobile in a few apps. I don't use it often, but I haven seen the issue.
