Yes, we did the exact same thing :-)

I have no idea why you don't get to see the console after you fixed this, if you
don't get an error I think you code is working fine.

I assume the console trough the CS gui is working? If so could it be as simple
as a typo in the console URL? Maybe there's something in the API/management log
that can help you.

I would start comparing the URLs generated by you code and the one from the CS
gui.
