How to debug or modify Scripty

There are at least two general paths take depending on how you need to be scripty.

If you are using the Visual Studio extension

Set the start project to Scripty.CustomTool and open the project properties. On the Debug tab, the Start External Program option should be selected and the path pointed to your devenv.exe (you will have to change this if you are not using the default installation path path)

The default installation path is for VS 2015 is

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe

The command line arguments should be set to /rootsuffix Exp /log

At that point you can start the solution.

If you are using the console app

Set the start project to Scripty and open the project properties. On the Debug tab, in the Start Options -> Command Line Arguments box, enter values to match your needs.

As an example, this will load the ProjectFile.csproj and execute the Script.csx.

"c:\ProjectFile.csproj" "c:\Script.csx"

To debug that interaction, Start the solution.

Interesting breakpoints

Scripty.CustomTool ScriptyGenerator.cs GenerateCode(string inputFileContent) is where the the script input is executed and the output generated. Look for these lines to set a breakpoint.

  ScriptEngine engine = new ScriptEngine(project.FullName);
  ScriptResult result = engine.Evaluate(source).Result;

Scripty.exe Program.cs Run(string[] args) is the equivalent location for the console app.

Console.WriteLine($"Adding task to evaluate {x}");
tasks.Add(engine.Evaluate(new ScriptSource(x, File.ReadAllText(x))));
