I have TypeError: name is undefined in an ExtJS Application. It happens on the following line:

win = Ext.create('Ext.window.Window',cfg);

Where cfg is a long list of properties. It only happens in certain situations, I was wondering if anyone has any ideas as to how I can track down the cause of the error in cfg? Perhaps using Firebug or some other debugging tool.

• 1 when the error occurs you should be able to view the call stack and see where is it failing both with firebug and chrome dev tools... – AMember Commented Dec 20, 2012 at 14:54
• stack was the keyword that got me on the right track, If you put this as an answer I'll mark it 'correct'. – Art F Commented Dec 20, 2012 at 16:48
• @ArtF You should post what the error was, too. – sra Commented Dec 20, 2012 at 16:50
• @sra it was roughly what you described in your answer, one of my 'views' wasn't properly referenced in the controller, resulting the xtype not being in the ClassManager. I suspected that that is the issue when I posted the question but I wasn't sure, which is why I wanted to look at what was going on inside cfg more carefully. – Art F Commented Dec 20, 2012 at 17:01
• You should ensure that any other user with a such a problem who stumbles over your question find a qualified answer. While looking at the stack points you in that direction still is not the solution. In such a case upvote and answer the question yourself. That help make stackoverflow better. – sra Commented Dec 20, 2012 at 17:29

This is most likely the error you face if a xtype or classname that cannot be found from the ClassManager. So you should check if you have a typo within the cfg

when the error occurs you should be able to view the call stack and see where is it failing both with firebug and chrome dev tools...
