Any way to inspect Orbeon form instances in the browser?


Is there any way to inspect the XForms instances on a specific page, from the browser, using Orbeon? Something a little bit like "inspect element" in modern browsers, for dev purposes.

I found this page, but it does not explain how to enable it on a page (or globally).


Solution

  • The simplest way is most likely to enable it globally, by adding the following to your properties-local.xml:

    <property as="xs:boolean"
              name="oxf.epilogue.xforms.inspector"
              value="true"/>
    

    And note that if you're using Form Builder, you'll then want to disable it, as the XForms Inspector currently isn't supported with Form Builder.
