Re: Debugging Javascript in WDSCi

Hi Vadim,

I solved my Javascript issue with using some alert functions, but anyway I'm 
still interested in getting this debug to work.

I found the Debug Launch Configurations dialog (I was just using "Debug As" 
like it stated in the help).  Now, when I create a new definition, and select 
existing browser, it says I have no browsers open for debug (I do have IE's 
open... but that doesn't seem to be sufficient).

Also when I choose launch new explorer, and specify "explorer" (or even my 
applications URL) as URL it says "Error creating debug target". (but starts a 
new browser with about:blank as URL).

Kind regards,
Paul

Hi Paul,

You should bring up Debug Launch Configurations dialog (I assume you've
used that before)
and select HTML Script Application in the list of available Launch Configs.
Press 'New' button
at the bottom to create a new launch configuration.
Now, you will have an option to debug in an already existing IE instance,
or enter a URL to
launch a new browser. If you would like to debug in an already open IE
browser, you should
be prompted to select from a list of running IE instances.

NOTE: WDSc actually has a built-in browser. I believe that if you run you
Web application in
that browser, you would not be able to debug JavaScript using debugger from
the same WDSc
instance.
Hence, it is best to run your Web application in an regular IE instance.

Hope this helps,
Vadim.
