Getting ClientSide Piplines to fire

Question

I am on Sitecore.NET 8.0 (rev. 160115) January 15, 2016 .NET Framework 4.0.30319.42000.

I am trying to follow these instructions on how to fix a fixed position navigation

So, I created the Js file & I went into core and setup the following.

Funny thing is I don't think any of the piplines are executing (or I really don't understand what is going on)

I tried to add the following to my pipeline and an existing one GetCommands.js for debugging purposes

window.hello = 'hello';
Sitecore.hello = 'hello';
console.log('hello');
alert('hello');

When in the console window.hello and Sitecore.hello were undefined.

Answer 1

Usually, I'm using debugger; if I want to debug something in Experience Editor client (SPEAK) pipelines:

define(["sitecore", "/-/speak/v1/ExperienceEditor/ExperienceEditor.js"], function (Sitecore, ExperienceEditor) {
  return {
    priority: 1,
    execute: function (context) {
      try {
        debugger;
        ExperienceEditor.Web.updateHtml5Cache();
      } catch (err) {}
    }
  };
});

then you need to open Developer Tools and refresh the page and then you should be able to catch this breakpoint:

You'll need to restart your instance (IIS reset/app pool recycle) if you can't catch breakpoint. SPEAK tries to bundle client pipeline processors into one file and site restart should fix this if it misses your changes.
