A relatively basic console application demonstrating many of the concepts needed to implement an interactive debugger for Jint. Currently builds against the latest main branch and .NET 6.0.
- Stepping (into/over/out)
- Setting, deleting, and clearing break points
- Example of extending the
BreakPointclass to add support for temporary break points - Displaying scopes and their bindings (variables and properties)
- Displaying call stack
- Evaluating expressions
- Simple module support
Simply call the executable with a path to a script file. The script will be paused before execution of the first line. Type help for a list of debugger commands. The listing shows full command name, short command name (if any), arguments (if any - angular brackets = required, square brackets = optional), and a description of the commmand.
The example debugger supports modules in the base path of the provided script, when called with -m option. I.e., calling:
Jint.DebuggerExample D:\app\main.js -m
... will allow imports from D:\app.
import foo from "./foo.js"
... will import from D:\app\foo.js.
