Debugging

[Serpen]

Debugging support would be a create feature but a lot of work to do, and maybe impossible due to some limitations

• [ ] Understanding VSCode Debug System
• [ ] Understanding ActiveDebug
• [ ] Writing an separate process that can react on VBS ActiveDebug
• [ ] Writing an Debug Adapter for VSCode

I don't know if it helps - it may not for adding VBScript/VBS debug support to VSCode (it may?), BUT if someone just needs to debug a VBScript: You can install the old MS Script Debugger from this page, and maybe others And while you have to use the 32-bit cscript.exe or wscript.exe Scripting Hosts, as per Stack Exchange .. it works! (at least with Windows 10 x64, and doesn't conflict with either Visual Studio 2017 or VSCode) %windir%\SysWOW64\cscript.exe /X example-script.vbs Will popup the debugger once installed.

Maybe it's possible to hook into the MS Script Debugger and use it from VSCode? Or maybe not.

Anyway, thanks for the VSCode Extension! --Saul
