Edit:_**Forum topic for newer version is here: [šŸ”„ UXP Debugger for VSCode 2.0 (no UDT dependency)](https://forums.creativeclouddeveloper.com/t/uxp-debugger-for-vscode-2-0-no-udt-dependency/12284)**_ I have good news. I created UXP Debugger for VSCode so you can debug without going back forth between UDT and VSCode. I had to use some little tricks to make it work and hope with help of Adobe I could get rid of extra setup steps in next version and improve source mapping. Get plugin here: [UXP Debugger - Visual Studio Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=JaroslavBereza.uxpdebugger&ssr=false#overview) [](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jS1QFwfvPKw) Please let me know how it worked for you and what you think. ---

Great work! Thank you for your hard work on this! For the rc file, what would the settings be for PremierePro? Is that information documented anywhere? I have not yet investigated in the marketplace if itā€™s documented in the readme, but just thought Iā€™d ask here. ---

Once you patch UDT, UDT will make rc file automatically. It has built-in feature to make them. After patch it only gets triggered on plugin load. ---

If someone wants to do it, I can help with the know-how. The first thing you would need to figure out is whether IntelliJ can accept CDP messages. The Chrome debugger protocol, or whether we need to translate them into DAP (Debugger adapter protocol), by some library we would use. I want to first focus on fine-tuning the existing plugin and improving reliability and user experience. ---

Hi Jaroslav! Thank you for sharing your plugin. However, I had difficulty setting it up correctly in both Photoshop 25.0 and InDesign 19.5 on Windows 10. I followed your instructions closely ā€” or at least I think I did ā€” but after running _UXP: Attach to Adobe UXP Plugin_ and selecting _manifest.json_, I see the blue **ā€œEval in Adobeā€¦ā€** at the bottom instead of the orange **ā€œAttach to UXP Pluginā€** like in your video. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/xdplugins/original/2X/b/b34f237f54c3bd06799bdec2959c282dc36a12a5.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/xdplugins/original/2X/6/662c684429b996ac37efa9a9583c20b06b83ff61.jpeg) Regards, Kasyan ---

Thanks for feedback. Other than that does everything works as it should? Anyway, I will look into why that status bar might show something else. ---

Unfortunately, no, it doesnā€™t. Iā€™ve already left the office for today. But I also tested it on my home computer (in Photoshop 24.6.0, Windows 10) and the problem is the same: when I hit ā€˜start debuggingā€™, nothing happens in VS Code. All the breakpoints look like greyed-out hollow circles. Though in Photoshop, it works as expected. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/xdplugins/original/2X/0/062143d0209693107e2bca3e6a04dff94a500666.png) Finally, in VS Code, I get the following error: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/xdplugins/original/2X/b/bd6d69a2f3d2241f4d8a2382142064e68f01c410.png) ---

Hi Jarda, i am currently performing a feasibility check whether I can automate few features or elements inside premiere pro custom uxp panel as part of test automation. Can I do so using uxp developer tool. If yes, is there any detailed documentation available to refer. It would really helpful, I tried vibe coding with GitHub copilot but nothing seems to work it seems to fail connecting the CDP. ---

Version 2 will have automated e2e tests. VSCode will start VSCode with debugger and instruct it to load plugin, evaluate code and report results back to vitest. So I can verify many debugging scenarios work as expected. But making that reusable for other projects is out of scope. ---
