Summary

I am probably easier to frustrate than the common man, but i simply don't know how I can make progress without 1 and a half billion errors thrown at me. Currently, I get the error " ReferenceError commonItemDataList is not defined" Which is obviously completely wrong because it's already defined, as you can see in the row 16.

ReferenceError

Which is obviously completely wrong because it's already defined, as you can see in the row 16.
There is no way I can see what is happening inside the variables I define, since the debugger only shows me the global variables defined with a $, but not the variables inside a method. And every time that happens, it's a complete nightmare to find out what is actually wrong. Why is it so hard to do something that should be not much harder than a Hello World Program?
It's just frustrating and annoying and completely redundant.
I just want to continue with my work without being annoyed by bullshit like this.
