CTP3 debug commands greyed out in powershell ISE? "James" <no[ at ]email.com> 12/27/2008 12:58:48 AM In the powershell ISE, I type in a few commands in the script window or load a script, and want to step through the code, but all the debug commands are greyed out and F11 does nothing? What do I need to do to step through code?

Re: CTP3 debug commands greyed out in powershell ISE? "James" <no[ at ]email.com> 12/27/2008 4:22:06 AM Thanks. Do you know of a way to enter a command line for a script in the ISE? You can't change $args, though I guess you could edit the script to set the args before debugging...

Re: CTP3 debug commands greyed out in powershell ISE? Bernd K <guest[ at ]unknown-email.com> 12/27/2008 8:57:19 PM Hello James, Without any documentation about ISE I tried the following: 1) I loaded a script containing a function into the script pane 2) I set a breakpoint to a line within that function using F9 3) I startetd the script F5 4) In the command pane I entered a call the function providing arguments Debugger stopped at Breakpoint red line became yellow 5) I can step using F10 or f11 or inspect some variables looks good.
