Using the debugger with OSbot local Scripts

[battleguard]

Debugging scripts in osbot is pretty simple once you learn abut debugging localprocesses. Here are the basic steps you will need

1. Add a breakpoint into your local script you have create

2. Set your build output to go to your OSBOT scripts folder

3. Create a debug configuration that starts an application with the entry point of org.osbot.boot

4. Run your configuration (do not debug it) to bring up osbot so your local processes in intellij can see it.

5. log into your account and then you are ready to attach to the local script process through intellij. Once you have attached run your script and you should now be debugging your script so any breakpoints that the code hits will now stop and allow you to see the variables.

6. you can also add watches to quickly look up things without using print lines and make debugging much easier now.

7. if you need to do more complex statements you can use evaluate expression to have multiple lines.

It's too much like Eclipse.

After I was done running the debugger, it wouldn't rebuild my jar file and it lost the JDK for the module. Is there a proper way to stop the debugger?

My classes all changed to this: https://gyazo.com/31f882c551a2235cf509a487c5d8924b  

I ended up making a new project and just copy and pasted the code into it. Couldn't figure out how to fix it otherwise

All other compiled local jar disappeared after I tried this.

I have encountered the same issue.

Select "Inherit project compile output path" should help
