Attach to existing IE/ShDocVw instance supported?

Post by terand1967 »

I would like to attach the PrimalScript debugger to a running instance of ShDocVw / {class = InternetExplorer} in order to debug client-side JavaScript errors.
Is this supported [currently evaluating 4.1 Enterprise].

Thanks!

The primalScript debugger currently only supports the debugging of stand-alone scripts typically used for administrative purposes. It cannot currently be attached to a web process to debug scripts within a web site.

So even changing the debugger to windows script editor for HTML in optionsEnviromentHTML, still won't allow the debugging of HTML source with embedded VB or JavaScript?

The mechanism Microsoft uses for calling a debugger is a bit more complicated.
It is not as clear cut as specifying a certain executable and just running it.

Microsoft's Just-In-Time debugging requires an intricate registration scheme
and as far as I know there is no documentation available that describes exactly how to do what.

I am afraid that we cannot be of more help in that regard.

What purpose does this setting in options serve then?

The option exists for every language. Many languages support a direct debugger.
