Cannot call method 'setActiveItem' of 'undefined'

Check the handler code section I posted above. It has the proper code for your handler.

Ahh...ok.....sorry, I glanced over that snippet. It looked similar :|

So now it doesn't throw the previous error, but the ToolbarGlobal error as you said.

Without me specifying the other files in the index, it now gives me this error at 'app.js:39'.

I don't have a line 39 in my app.js, so how do I track this down now?

I mean, I could just do a global search throughout the entire app for 'ToolbarGlobal', but that doesn't strike me as efficient.

Thoughts on how I can debug better?

By the way Jamie, thank you VERY much for being so patient and working through this issue with me.

This has stumped me for the last few days at least and I been feeling completely 'out of water'.

We'll probably have a screencast soon going over how we debug. But here's a quick setup.

I prefer Chrome, but you can also use Safari

Open you application in Chrome and open the Chrome Developer Tools

Change the exception handling to stop on uncaught exceptions

This is now my normal mode of development. When an error occurs like yours it will stop on it like this:

Now we're paused before the error throws. We can inspect variables, have full access to the console which is in the current scope. You can walk the stack trace and at each point you have full access to the current scope and variables.

Pressing play at this point will throw the hard error with detail:

That should at least get you started, again we'll be coming out with some screencasts to show more detail.

Thanks for this Jamie...will test it out in a bit and let you know how it works out for this particular issue.
