Debugging TypeScript in Firebug

Question

Is there any instruction how to debug typescript in Firebug and/or built-in Firefox js-debugger? Something like but for Firebug and/or Firefox

Answer 1

Firefox Developer Edition allows debugging of TypeScript code. The only thing missing is syntax highlighting.

Answer 2

Chrome canary supports this: http://www.aaron-powell.com/web/typescript-source-maps

Answer 3

Firebug is closely integrated with the Javascript execution engine of Firefox. As long as Firefox or Firebug have no support for Typescript I guess you are out of luck.

For Coffeescript, there is AceBug which offers debugging support for Coffeescript. It should be possible to extend this to TypeScript. However, the structure of the source Typescript and the compiled Javascript can be quite different so the compiler would need to insert debug symbols to link Javascript to Typescript.
