Hi! I’m a self-taught novice programmer trying to write a macro in javascript for ImageJ. I’ve built a program that I think works, but trying to debug it without a proper debugger has been hell. I’m a hair away from just giving up and rewriting the whole thing in the program’s native macro language. I looked online and it seems like I should be able to set up a debugging environment in Visual Studio Code, but I couldn’t find any guide for doing that specifically for ImageJ. I use Visual Studio Code to write my javascript, but any advice on any platform or even just what I need to find to get started would be helpful. Thank you!

Posting Etiquette

  1. Ask the main part of your question in the title. This should be concise but informative.

  2. Provide everything up front. Don't make people fish for more details in the comments. Provide background information and examples.

  3. Be present for follow up questions. Don't ask for help and run away. Stick around to answer questions and provide more details.

  4. Ask about the problem you're trying to solve. Don't focus too much on debugging your exact solution, as you may be going down the wrong path. Include as much information as you can about what you ultimately are trying to achieve. See more on this here: https://xyproblem.info/
