Extendscript Toolkit debugger fails on Mac: Can't start debug session

Starting from this morning I get the Error Message "(#1116) Can't start debug session." on my Mac for any target / Application.

ESTK 4.0.0.1

MacOS 10.13.6 (High Sierra)

Scrips are running, but the message is annoying. Any Ideas?

I had some minor security Updates on my Mac today. This guy on debugging - Extendscript Toolkit debugger fails: Can't start debug session - Stack Overflow  has the same problem starting from today. Anyone encountering this problem as well?

OK, I have a more official fix, please give it a try:

So a possible workaround is to suggest the following to users

1.       Open the file(Mac): “/Applications/Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit CC/ExtendScript Toolkit.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Required/cdic/11BTBackend.jsx”

2.       Search for the value: 604800000 (line reads bt.timeout = 604800000)

3.       Replace that value with 604800 and save

4.       Quit ExtendScript Toolkit and relaunch.

A handful of third-party developers have verified this works.

For anyone still watching this thread, if you'd like to try out the ESTK VSCode plugin, it is now in prerelease for Mac (Mac only for now, Windows in a couple weeks) you can join the prerelease and give us feedback in the prerelease forum.

I have to admit that while sceptical at first, I have been starting coding with VisualStudio Code and it's quite ok.

A few issues but not that surprising with an uprising "product".

The only real thing that annoys me right now is when you want to run a one line script. I just find it requires more settings than necessary in that case but I may be wrong ?

As of last Friday, the first release of the ExtendScript Debugger for Visual Studio Code is now available in the VSCode Marketplace. Read more about it on the Adobe Tech Blog. This release is for Mac, the Windows version is still in beta, a stable Windows release will follow in about two weeks.

I agreed. Looks really nice.

It is a bit annoying needing to save a temporary script, and mess with the launch json file for a quick ad-hoc script, but I just keep a testing folder on my desktop with a testing json and jsx already there, and seems to help a bit.

I do have an ongoing question regarding scriptUI wich if I can get answered I will be able to move to CS Code 100%
