Debugging

Debugging with JSTest.NET couldn't be easier. Simply launch the unit test in question with the Visual Studio debugger and you will be prompted to launch the Visual studio Just-In-Time Debugger to debug and step through your JavaScript unit test.

See below for more detail.

Important Notes

By default the test script timeout is 10 seconds; however when running inside the debugger, this timeout is disabled. As such, it is not recommended to simply ignore the request to lauch the "Visual studio Just-In-Time Debugger" as any infinite loops (which of course your code will never have) will leave a CScript process running in the background that must be manually killed.

When choosing to run a unit test script block, JSTest will automatically add in a debugger; statement unless you explicitly choose to suppress the force debugger option. This debugger; statement will ensure you receive a prompt to attach a debugger to your unit test.

Preferred Call

  public String RunTest(String scriptBlock)

Explicit Override

  public String RunTest(String scriptBlock, Boolean forceDebuggerPromptIfAttached)
