.NET Forum / Languages / JScript / July 2006Debug a JScript
Hello How can I develop a script from an IDE and debugging too? Currently, I use the editor to write the .js file, then use the "cscript file.js //x" which will run the debugger. Is there is a way to automate the whole process as if developing an application and then hitting F10 to start tracing? -- Elias > Is there is a way to automate the whole process as if developing an > application and then hitting F10 to start tracing? In Visual Studio, you can probably do it fairly easily if you have the VC++ project system installed; just define a new build step for JS files that is CScript... otherwise, you can write a macro to shell out to CScript with the current filename and bind that macro to a keystroke.

How you mean "define a new build step for JS" ? Can you please explain more? >otherwise, you can write a macro to shell out to CScript with the current >filename and bind that macro to a keystroke. Do you mean that I will be able to debug a JScript just as simple as one debugs C++ applications? (F10 starts the debugger, have workspace, watches, BPs, etc...?) -- Elias > How you mean "define a new build step for JS" ? > > Can you please explain more? Sorry, I don't know the ins and outs of that. Just that it should be possible. Try asking in one of the VS customisation newsgroups. > Do you mean that I will be able to debug a JScript just as simple as one > debugs C++ applications? > (F10 starts the debugger, have workspace, watches, BPs, etc...?) Potentially. You can already have breakpoints and watches today; you just can't launch cscript from within the IDE by default. Maybe a macro is the easiest way to do that after all...
