I'm trying phptools (have been using jetbrain's PHPStorm) mainly because of the ability to use visual studio. In particular the javascript features and more over the javascript debugging tools in visual studio. However, with a php project, javascript debugging doesnt work anymore. Is there any way to combine both javascript debugging with phptools?

Thanks!

Hi!

Thanks for your interest! The current release doesn't initiate javascript debugger when php project is launched. But we have all the support for it prepared for 1.6 release (currently private beta) with certain limitations for the time being:
- JS can be debugged only in Internet Explorer
- The js code won't debug if embedded in php files (this will be supported in later versions). It debugs in js,html,... files

Thank you

When are you planning a public (beta) release of 1.6? also, is there a newsletter/feed regarding new releases?

Hi,
1.6 is planned to be released within a week or two. There is just changelog http://www.devsense.com/products/php-to ... /changelog . We may add newsletter or roadmap on the website after this release.

Thanks,

I still don't see javascript debugging available. When could we expect it?

It wasn't included in the latest release, because in VS2012 we need to support Browse With capability as prerequisite for this feature. Once we have this we can pretty much turned js debug on.

This is a show stopper for us at the moment - when can we expect this feature?

What we could do immidiately for you is to turn js debug outside of php files on, as long as you use IE for debugging js. If that would be acceptable, we can prepare the package for you.

That would be great and I guess sufficient for most people anyway.

Ok, We'll have the package ready during today. I'll send you an email with the instructions.
