Offline Script Testing by chicco on 07-22-2006 at 12:20 PM
hello,
i have a little question: is there a way to test scripts while the messenger and the pc are offline?
Thanks

Due to the way events are called and such, I don't think this would be quite possible.
The original Microsoft JScript parser would fail because the Messenger Plus! library would not be available if you ran the script outside MP!L.
It's maybe a feature that could be added to MP!L or if anyone wants to make a full-fledged development environment 
.

What I meant was a sort of dummy-event.
For example, it could parse the code, and you could tell the system to call that function with dummy arguments...
Code:
code:
function MessengerFunction(arg1,arg2)
Debug.Trace ("This function was called with " + arg1 + " " +arg2);
end
Then from the new area (I'll call it the debugger window) you could type
MessengerFunction("hi","noobs");
and it would call those functions as if that's what was actually happening.
As I said, it might be too much to include in the messenger plus! live client, but a dev-environment would be nice
(or even a plug in to the MS VS IDE... * goes and researches).
