    text
    copied!<p>I have a CakePHP 2 app with DebugKit installed. It is working fine and I get the memory usage and processing time in the "Timing" toolbar for each page I load.</p> <p>What I also want to be able to do is get memory usage and processing times for ajax requests after the page has loaded. I am aware that I can access previous ajax requests using the "History" button in the DebugKit Toolbar, but this is doesn't really help when I want to click around the page, firing ajax requests and get instant debugging information for them.</p> <p>So, I did some searching and I found that I could use Firebug + FirePHP in Firefox along with the FirePHP and FireCake libraries in my app and get all of DebugKit's stats on a per-ajax-request basis. This sounds perfect and exactly what I want to do.</p> <p>Unfortunately, I can't seem to get it to work. I could only find one tutorial on the matter at <a href="http://someguyjeremy.com/blog/using-firephp-to-debug-your-cakephp-app" rel="nofollow">http://someguyjeremy.com/blog/using-firephp-to-debug-your-cakephp-app</a></p> <p>I have done everything that tutorial mentions and Cake gives me no errors at all. However, unless I am missing something, I don't see where in Firebug the debug info is being displayed, if indeed it is even being fed to Firebug in the first place.</p> <p>My config:</p> <p><strong>Cake Version:</strong> 2.2.4</p> <p><strong>Firefox Version:</strong> 17.0.1</p> <p><strong>Firebug Version:</strong> tried with 1.11.1 and 1.9.0</p> <p><strong>FirePHP Version:</strong> 0.7.1</p> <p><strong>DebugKit Version:</strong> 2.2.0 (latest master branch)</p> <p><strong>UPDATE</strong></p> <p>It appears to work perfectly for Ajax requests that do not end in .json and, therefore, are not being picked up by the <code>Router::parseExtensions('json');</code> I have in routes.php.</p> <p>I took out <code>Router::parseExtensions('json');</code> and changed my Ajax request to go for my <code>filter</code> action directly instead of calling it <code>filter.json</code> and Cake serves all of the FireBug headers. Unfortunately, I can't use it like this because JQuery needs the content type to be application.json.</p>
