Hi,
There is still a long way to go, but everyone interested in debugging Lively
can now use the built-in cross-browser debugger in three different ways:
1. Ctrl+Shift+D / Cmd+Shift+D
keyboard shortcut to debug the selected code fragment
2. World Menu > Debugging > Debug Morphic Scripts
enables setting breakpoints in the object editor
with "debugger" statements
3. World Menu -> Debugging -> Prepare system for tracing/debugging +
World Menu -> Debugging -> Start global debugging
uses method instrumentation to maintain stack information
with a slight performance overhead
If any of these three methods is used, unhandled exceptions will open a
debugger window instead of showing a red box.
Any feedback regarding bugs and feature requests is appreciated.
Happy debugging,
Christopher
PS: Integration with the test runner is on the way and coming soon.
