Troubleshooting on-device decisioning for at.js

Complete the following steps to troubleshoot on-device decisioning in Adobe Target with the at.js JavaScript library:

Step 1: Enable the console log for at.js

Appending the URL parameter mboxDebug=1 enables at.js to print messages in your browser’s console.

All messages contain a prefix “AT:” for convenient overview. To ensure that an artifact has been successfully loaded, your console log should contain messages similar to the following:

AT: LD.ArtifactProvider fetching artifact - https://assets.adobetarget.com/your-client-cide/production/v1/rules.json
AT: LD.ArtifactProvider artifact received - status=200

The following illustration shows these messages in the console log:

Step 2: Verify the rule artifact download in your browser’s Network tab

Open your browser’s Network tab.

For example, to open DevTools in Google Chrome:

Step 3: Verify the rule artifact download using at.js custom events

The at.js library dispatches two new custom events to support on-device decisioning.

You can subscribe to listen to these custom events in your application to action upon success or failure of the artifact rules file download.

The following example shows a sample of code listening to artifact download success and failure events:

document.addEventListener(adobe.target.event.ARTIFACT_DOWNLOAD_SUCCEEDED, function(e) {
  console.log("Artifact successfully downloaded", e.detail);
}, false);

document.addEventListener(adobe.target.event.ARTIFACT_DOWNLOAD_FAILED, function(e) {
  console.log("Artifact failed to download", e.detail);
}, false);
