Who uses "ExtendScript Developer Tools" extension? Do you find it a useful tool in Illustrator? What can you tell us about it?

This would update any text frame contents in the active document to it's object name: updateContent();
function updateContent() {
var aDoc = app.activeDocument;
for (i = 0; i < aDoc.textFrames.length; i++) {
aDoc.textFrames[i].contents = aDoc.textFrames[i].name;
}
}

@sberic, @Erin F., @m1b, @Anubhav M, By rolling back to ExtendScript Debugger v1.1.2 I am now able to debug "doScript" scripts without issue. @sberic, I did post this issue on the "ExtendScript Debugger" comments page. Since it may ultimately be a "Ai 2022" bug I feel the ExtendScript Debugger team my have more access to the Ai Development team than I do. I will at least attempt to file a Bug report in the appropriate place (where ever that is). Setup: Mac Studio M1 Max VSCode 1.69.2 (Universal running in Rosetta) Illustrator CC 2022 Thanks, Ray

With two objects selected this script will resize the width of top object to match the width of bottom object: function resizeZero() {
var aDoc = app.activeDocument;
var Zero = selection[0];
var One = selection[1];
Zero.width = One.width;
redraw();
}
resizeZero();

So I just ran the following script with v2.0.3: app.doScript("Opacity 60 (selection)", "Default Actions"); and it appears to work... if there have been no errors in the ExtendScript engine (e.g. `main`) prior to running the script. If there have been errors, Illustrator itself appears to go into an infinite loop (on macOS, at least) and must be Force Quit. Is this what you're referring to when you say that `doScript` doesn't work? By @sberic Yes. This is very repeatable for me in AI 2022.

@sberic, To correct myself, I am not able to run a "doScript" to AI 2022 from VSCode using ES Debugger 2.0.3, 2.0.2 or 2.0.1. I have not tried others yet. It successfully ran ONCE using 2.0.2 and I though I had found the problem. I was wrong. I only noticed the issue in the last couple days so when I realized ES Debugger had just updated I started suspecting it. As stated, I am still able to debugger scripts using "doScript" to AI 2020 on my iMac. I cannot test this on the M1 since AI 2020 cannot be loaded on it. I will continue testing on Monday. Thank you for spending your valuable time to study this issue.

@m1b, thanks for testing and for all the info. I switched to "Universal running in Rosetta". It works the same as the Intel version for me. I also tried using your launch.json configuration but was not able to get it work for some reason. I need to read more about the "attach" request option. I will hit this again on Monday.

This simple script runs the Action "Unite" (Pathfinder:Add) from Action folder "TestAction". It works fine in 2.0.2 but causing Ai 2022 to go in infinite loop (beachball). app.doScript("Unite", "TestAction"); Here is the script in .jsx format: https://www.icloud.com/iclouddrive/062CSlMj1dw5YDM5zdo0L4IXA#test_doScript I am not sure how to attach an aia file. Please try this link: https://www.icloud.com/iclouddrive/09eLzO6nE0o1TRXn3Z20eWmkQ#TestAction And here is a simple file for testing. Select all before running script: https://www.icloud.com/iclouddrive/094Bu2Q6uOP4_2v3T36yrMJLA#TestFile I did find I had to revert to ES Debugger 2.0.1 to run the script this evening. I have also adjusted settings so the extension does not auto-update.

@Anubhav M , these are scripts I've been using for years. They still run fine directly in AI or from Keyboard Maestro. They just fail (and cause Ai to hang) if run from VSCode. FYI: I am running VSCode 1.69.1 and ExtendScript Debugger 2.0.3. I notice Debugger was updated 7/14. I wonder if that's the issue? ExtendScript Debugger 2.0.3 - 2022-07-14 Edit: Confirmed: Downgraded ES Debugger to 2.02 and "doScript" method now works from VSCode!

I've posted this question in the Illustrato forum as well. Why does any "app.doScript" scripts fail when run to Ai 2022 from VSCode vs 1.69.1? The same scripts work to Ai 2020 but our new M1 Macs will not support Ai 2020. Running the scripts via Keyboard Maestro by way of Applescript they work fine. But I cannot debug any script containing "app.doScript" method from VSCode. The script abruptly ends and AI 2022 locks up and must be force quit.

I have an Illustrator Action Library I've been using since AI 2015. Since upgrading from AI 2020 to 2022 I find any script calling these actions with "doScript" fail if run from VSCode. If I run the action directly in AI 2022 they work fine. Does anyone know how I can alter the scripts to allow them to work in AI 2022? Edit: I've determined it is not the scripts themselves. The failure occurs when they are run from VSCode directly. Running them via Keyboard Maestro works fine. Version info: Version: 1.69.1 Commit: b06ae3b2d2dbfe28bca3134cc6be65935cdfea6a Date: 2022-07-12T08:21:51.333Z Electron: 18.3.5 Chromium: 100.0.4896.160 Node.js: 16.13.2 V8: 10.0.139.17-electron.0 OS: Darwin x64 21.5.0 Will see about downgrading.

I realize this is an old thread, but it was helpful to me. I updated the script written by Ten A. The last 2 lines just needed "i" to identify the current path. Works great in AI 2022: function closePaths() { for (var i = 0; i < app.activeDocument.pathItems.length; i++) { if (app.activeDocument.pathItems[i].closed == false) app.activeDocument.pathItems[i].closed = true; } redraw(); } closePaths();

This issue is NOT solved. Anytime a OneDrive folder is shared that contains .ait files they become editable, named files. It is an on-going serious issue in a production environment.

There are at least 17 "Prettier" extensions in the VSCode library and more than one that says it's for "Javascript". Which one should be installed? These are my top 3 guesses: Prettier - Code formatter v9.5.0 Prettier - JavaScript formatter v0.17.101 Prettier - JavaScript formatter v0.22.1 Also, the blog post from 2019 referenced "Adobe Code Runner". Is that still a useful extention with the updates to "ExtendScript Debugger" extension?

When Illustrator .ait files are initially shared in a Microsoft OneDrive folder they open as named, editable files. Opening, choosing "Save As" and overwriting the file forces OneDrive to handle the file format correctly. Adobe and Microsoft need to fix this bug.

It doesn't matter what the script is. This one will do: var url = 'test'; alert(url); This is the launch.json { "version": "0.2.0", "configurations": [ { "type": "extendscript-debug", "request": "launch", "name": "Launch in Illustrator", // "hostAppSpecifier": "illustrator-24.064", "hostAppSpecifier": "illustrator-26.064", }, ] } When I type F5 or Menu: Run: Start Debugging the script runs but does not stop on the breakpoint on line 2. I am used to seeing this floating panel fully active. Now the "Step" options are grayed out:

Thank you for the update. I am still new to programming and especially VSCode and do not know how to reconfigure my launch.json to gain functionality I had in v1.1.2. I've read the "Details" section most of which is still over my head. I realize all of this is elementary to a true programmer, but I (and I am guessing others in this forum) are illustrators turned scripters and it can be daunting, intimidating and descouraging at time. Can someone show how this launch.json should be changed to function in v2.0 as it did in v1.1.2? I was able to get v2 to run a script in Illustrator but it does not stop at a set breakpoint now. {
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"type": "extendscript-debug",
"request": "launch",
"name": "Illustrator",
"dontBreakOnErrors": true,
"program": "${file}",
// "targetSpecifier": "illustrator-24.064",
"targetSpecifier": "illustrator-26.064",
"stopOnEntry": false
},
]

Changing my launch.json to this worked for me. {
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"type": "extendscript-debug",
"request": "launch",
"name": "Illustrator",
"hostAppSpecifier": "illustrator-26.064",
},
]
} I have a related questions though: When I run "launch.json" VSCode hightlights the first line ("version": "0.2.0",) in red and shows this error: The script is working. What is the error trying to tell me?
