How to debug init method of dialog?

Init method is a entry point for all dialogs and is called as first method when dialog opening. There are several ways how to debug this method, but we have prepared (since build 2066) methods to make things easier.

Add these two lines AFTER init method:

requirejs('helpers/debugTools');

registerDebuggerEntryPoint.call(this /* method class */, 'init' /* method name to inject */);

When you open dialog, DevTools will automatically open and application waits on message dialog to continue (so developer have time to set breakpoints etc.).
