MarkLogic 8 and server-side JavaScript - Debugging support

Question

Is there any plan to provide runtime debugging support for server-side JavaScript? Most of the XQuery API has been ported to JavaScript, but the "dbg" module, which gives you an entry point into query execution, has not. As MarkLogic 8 embeds the Google JavaScript engine, does this provide debugging hooks, which will allow third-party developers to write interactive debuggers?

Answer 1

Debugging, along with profiling and better logging, are on our roadmap. We’re looking at leveraging the debugger in the Chrome Developer Tools. Are there other IDEs or environments you’re using that we should be looking at as well? Feedback is much appreciated.
