Hi Josh,
thanks for the responses:
first, I try installing a Firefox VSCode debugger extension (Debugger for
Firefox 0.6.4 by Holger Benl) ...don't know if this is correct.
I add this in launch.json:
{
"name": "Launch Firefox against debug.html, with sourcemaps",
"type": "firefox",
"request": "launch",
"file": "${workspaceRoot}/debug.html",
"sourceMaps": true,
"preLaunchTask": "asconfigc"
}
(but says sourceMaps line is not supported)
Anyway, selecting this config, firefox opens with the app running exactly
the same way as chrome, firefox stops not in Main but in a function called
by a click in a text. So, all the same as chrome.
For 3.- I changed to "config": "flex" and I get imports and extends working
properly :)
but adding js-output-type like this:
{
"config": "flex",
"compilerOptions": {
"debug": true,
"source-map": true*,*
* "js-output-type": "flexjs"*
},
"files":
[
"src/Main.as"
]
}
causes this compilation error:
*command line*
*Error: unknown configuration variable 'source-map'.*
maybe is not correctly formulated?
Regarding Maven, I'm talking with Chris about the config of a test project
and I think I have to dig a bit more on this. I'll report If I investigate
and find something useful.
Thanks!
