cannot run javascript debugger under Winodws

[Ivo Stoykov]

Hi

I'm trying to execute this:

cmd /k cd /d "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)" && Cscript "$(FILE_NAME)" //X //D && exit

the problem is that //X and //D switches do not work.

If I prepend echo command in front I got line trimmed up to first //

echo cmd /k cd /d "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)" && Cscript "$(FILE_NAME)" //X //D && exit
cmd /k cd /d "e:\Projects\_test" && Cscript "6.js"
================ READY ================

Neither work such a script:

NPP_SAVE
cd "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)"
cmd /c Cscript "$(FILE_NAME)" //X //D

I've tried npe_debug on/off and here is the result&

npe_debug on
Debug Log is On (1)

cmd /c Cscript "$(FILE_NAME) //X //D"

npp is 6.2.3 with nppexec 0.4.3.1 under Windows 7

will appreciate your ideas how to run this

[Ivo Stoykov]

Just for info:

the above case works when a batch file is used.
I've created a js.cmd file with following contents

cscript.exe "%1" //X //D //NoLogo

and the I run it from Execute console:

NPP_SAVE
cmd /c $(NPP_DIRECTORY)\js.cmd "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"

and default debugger fires correctly.

By the way, NppExec 0.4.3.2 exists already. 
Refer to NppExec Manual, section 3.8.4 - your exact situation is descriped in the end of that section.

[DV]

Additionally, if you need to use those  //  frequently, you may consider to specify another comment delimiter (instead of //) in NppExec. 
Follow "NppExec_TechInfo.txt" - see the variable CommentDelimiter. (For example, you can set it to /// or to ## and so on.)

[Mortaza Toufigh]

In addition to all the above workarounds, you can use this NppExec script too:

cd $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)
Cscript /Nologo "$(FILE_NAME)"
