Indesign will not longer use Extendscript CC to edit scripts

[spicyDoge]

System: Windows 10, ID version 17.4, Extendscript CC

I updated Indesign and it will no longer use Extendscript CC to edit a script, what should I do? System specs are above.

@spicyDoge  use the visual studio code and install this extension "ExtendScript Debugger".

Below is the link where you see how you can debug and run script using Visual Studio Code.

Hi,

you still can install and use the ExtendScript Toolkit (ESTK) application on Windows 10.

And still you can connect with InDesign 2022 version 17.4 with it. At least I can do this on my Windows 10 machine. With ESTK CS6 and the ESTK CC as well. Have both versions installed.

Installer file AdobeExtendScriptToolkit_4_LS22.exe is available at:

( Scroll down to section Other Tools Included in Creative Cloud 2014 )

https://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-2014-direct-download-links.html

To get all possible targets, also the latest version of InDesign, run this line of code in the ESTK:

BridgeTalk.__diagnostics__;

Part of the result should be:

indesign-17.064:

For me the ESTK works well with ID 17.4 under Windows 10

Same here. No problem at all.

Hi @spicyDoge ,

if you cannot see the target Adobe InDesign 2022 in the ESTK, uninstall InDesign 2022 with all preferences.

Log out from the Creative Cloud Desktop app, restart your machine, log in to Creative Cloud Desktop app and install InDesign 2022 again.

1. Bonjour,
   Ce post est intéressant : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16108012/extendscript-how-to-add-indesign-dom-to-extendscript-ob... 
   1 - Ouvrir ExtendScript CC
   2 - Créer un nouveau script nommé "connect_to_estk.jsx" qui contient cette ligne de  code :
   $.writeln("Connected to " + app.name + " " + app.version);

et le placer dans le panneau des scripts d'InDesign.
2 - Depuis InDesign lancer le script qui doit afficher dans la console d'ExtendScript un texte du type "Connected to Adobe InDesign 17.4..."

Hi @Hervé5FB5 ,

thanks for that. Therefore my code to get the BridgeTalk diagnostics.

Let's see if @spicyDoge gets

indesign-17.064:

as part of the result. If not, the code you posted will fail as well.

Do you mean that when you right-click the script in the Script Panel in InDesign and select "Edit Script", it no longer opens in ESTK? Is that the problem?
