如何调试独立的VBScript脚本？

Question

I have a VBScript script that takes 2 command-line arguments and does some validation. I need to debug this to see how the program is getting executed. I was trying to paste this into Excel (using VBA ). However there are some constructs like Const , etc. that are not being supported, plus certain validations like taking the command-line arguments are failing.

Hence I would like to know if there is any way to debug this script. I have Windows XP and Office 2003 installed. I cannot install any other applications on the office computer.

Answer 1

Run cscript.exe for full command args, I think

cscript //X scriptfile.vbs MyArg1 MyArg2

will run the script in a debugger.

Answer 2

Click the mse7.exe installed along with Office typically at \\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\OFFICE11 .

This will open up the debugger, open the file and then run the debugger in the GUI mode.

Answer 3

This is for future readers. I found that the simplest method for me was to use Visual Studio -> Tools -> External Tools. More details in this answer .

Easier to use and good debugging tools.

Answer 4

For posterity, here's Microsoft's article KB308364 on the subject. This no longer exists on their website, it is from an archive .

How to debug Windows Script Host, VBScript, and JScript files

SUMMARY

The purpose of this article is to explain how to debug Windows Script Host (WSH) scripts, which can be written in any ActiveX script language (as long as the proper language engine is installed), but which, by default, are written in VBScript and JScript. There are certain flags in the registry and, depending on the debugger used, certain required procedures to enable debugging.

MORE INFORMATION

To debug WSH scripts in Microsoft Visual InterDev, the Microsoft Script Debugger, or any other debugger, use the following command-line syntax to start the script:

 wscript.exe //d <path to WSH file> This code informs the user when a runtime error has occurred and gives the user a choice to debug the application. Also, the //x flag 

can be used, as follows, to throw an immediate exception, which starts the debugger immediately after the script starts running:

 wscript.exe //d //x <path to WSH file> After a debug condition exists, the following registry key determines which debugger will be used: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\CLSID\\{834128A2-51F4-11D0-8F20-00805F2CD064}\\LocalServer32 

The script debugger should be Msscrdbg.exe, and the Visual InterDev debugger should be Mdm.exe .

If Visual InterDev is the default debugger, make sure that just-in-time (JIT) functionality is enabled. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Start Visual InterDev.

2. On the Tools menu, click Options.

3. Click Debugger, and then ensure that the Just-In-Time options are selected for both the General and Script categories.

Additionally, if you are trying to debug a .wsf file, make sure that the following registry key is set to 1:

 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows Script\\Settings\\JITDebug

将此文件夹导出到备份文件，然后尝试删除此文件夹和所有内容。
