Add Script Debugger about sfcc-studio HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi @xpuctto there is progress, but it's slow going.

What I have so far is on this branch https://github.com/nek4life/sfcc-studio/tree/debugger I'm able to start and stop the debugger, but the SDAPI needs to be wired into the xdebugger event handlers.

It's mainly figuring out how to extend the IDE and to do that there's a lot of reading other plugins and diving into the class implementations.

Thanks @ulitink I had been doing a bit of research and I believe you are right that xdebugger would be the way to go.

Here is a good example of how to use the xdebugger in action.

https://github.com/mulesoft-labs/data-weave-intellij-plugin/tree/master/data-weave-plugin/src/main/java/org/mule/tooling/lang/dw/debug

I don't remember seeing the documentation or do you just mean the documentation in the source code itself?

I think the next steps are to write an API client for the SDAPI. Then I think it's as "easy" as extending and hooking up all the right classes... I started writing one in Kotlin, but then ran into an issue trying to get kotlinx.serialization working within the IDE. It worked fine as a separate library. Not sure what I was doing wrong.

(Never used Kotlin before and wanted to try it out. I wonder if I'd get more contributions if I continue to use Java or if I started using Kotlin for everything)

I'll take a look at those classes you suggest as well! Thanks for the help!

Hi @nek4life ,

Is there any progress on the debugger, since that's the only reason I haven't started using IntelliJ as my main SFCC IDE?

from sfcc-studio.

It's not necessary to use scriptDebugger, with xdebugger a solution may be just a slightly more cumbersome. But xdebugger is documented and has a lot of examples.

As a starting point, I would suggest to implement SimpleConfigurationType and ProgramRunner. ProgramRunner#execute should invoke com.intellij.xdebugger.XDebuggerManager#startSession.

Initial version will be in the next release once it is approved by JetBrains
