How to debug Adobe Panel

Question

I'm following the documentation here:
https://github.com/Adobe-CEP/Getting-Started-guides/tree/master/Client-side%20Debugging#getting-a-blank-debug-console

I'm able to launch the panel just fine and it works as expected but I'm not sure what steps I'd have to take to get the debugger in chrome to pick up the panel activity. The doc I listed makes it almost sound like a local server is supposed to be hosting these files at localhost:8088 but that's not the case.

I feel like I'm missing something simple but I'm not sure what it is. Any feedback would be appreciated, thank you.

Those instructions should help you debug the JavaScript portion of your panel, but not the ExtendScript portions. 🙂

The ExtendScript Debugger for Microsoft Visual Studio Code is the best way to do that:

Give that a try, and feel free to ask further questions.
