Debugging Support

[Phillipus]

This is to track the work of @jbsarrodie to implement debugging of scripts in MS Edge and Chrome browsers.

Dev branch: dev-jb.

I'm testing on Windows with Edge and Chrome. The first problem is getting Edge or Chrome to launch with the debug URL. It opens Edge or Chrome, but not the URL.

Here's a simple test snippet:

import java.io.IOException;

public class Test {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String port = "9229";
        String editor = "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft\\Edge\\Application\\msedge.exe";

        String path = java.util.UUID.randomUUID().toString();
        String url = "devtools://devtools/bundled/js_app.html?ws=127.0.0.1:" + port + "/" + path;

        String[] paths = new String[]{editor, url};

        try {
            Runtime.getRuntime().exec(paths);
        }
        catch(IOException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

@jbsarrodie I've tried everything I can think of to get Chrome or Edge on Windows to automatically open a URL with the devtools:// protocol and it just can't be done.

@jbsarrodie I've implemented it in jArchi.

• Added to preferences a check box to enable/disable debugging
• Added to preferences a text box for the port

If enabled, running a script will open a dialog - "Press OK to copy the debug URL to the clipboard and continue with the debug session. Press Cancel to continue without debugging."

So, press "OK" then paste the URL into Chrome/Edge and off you go.
Press cancel if you don't want to do that and continue to run the script.
Turn it off in preferences if you don't want it.

• Added to preferences a text box for the port

That's a clever way of solving the initial issue. I'll test it soon.

Currently in branch dev.
