Debugging

Introduction

Some times it is better one time to see than thousand times to read or hear about some thing. During implementing and testing of your automation scripts it can be necessary to investigate behaviour of Notepad++ or scripts. In such cases a powerful debugger is a very nice tool. Since jN 2.0.100 it is possible to debug your scripts in every tool that can attach to MS Script Engine.

Today I know only one possibility to debug scripts runing in Notepad++.

• MS Visual Studio (powerful). The smallest necessary configuration is
  • VS Core Editor
  • TypeScript 2.6 SDK: required by "JavaScript and TypeScript language support"
  • JavaScript and TypeScript language support
  • Just-in-Time debugger

MS Visual Studio

Since MS Visual Studio 2013 the express editions also support this functionality. I checked it with Express 2013 for Windows.
