WDBG

CS-Script Web Debugger - Stack Analyser

CS-Script Web Debugger is an experiential effort that was triggered by the requests from users for providing scaffolding for lightweight debugging of scripts hosted in the applications. However, the problem itself is generic by nature and simple debugging would be highly beneficial for both CLI and hosted execution scenarios.

Currently, CS-Script offers full integration with two most popular IDEs Visual Studio and VSCode. Any other IDE or debugger capable of debugging managed applications can also be used for debugging scripts with only a few simple extra steps. Thus currently available tools fully cover an average developer debugging needs.

Though, when debugging is needed on the system where development tools (e.g. IDE) are not available or the user (not the developer) does not have adequate SW development skills, a simple low-dependency debugging infrastructure would be highly beneficial.

WDBG is an example of such infrastructure and a ready-to-go debugger with no dependency on any other product. While WDBG implementation is rather of a prototype level, it is fully capable to be used as is or as a starting point for further development of product-specific lightweight debuggers.

WDBG concept is simple. Before the start, the script is analysed and special "inspection routines" injected in every debuggable line of the script. ...
