Xcode has apparently AppleScript debugging facilities :

  • You can put breakpoints
  • Executable options mentions AppleScript Debugger

But I could not figure how to Run & Debug script…

Tried setting up a custom executable calling osascript with script as argument, breakpoints are not hit.

Any ideas?

    Answering to myself to close this one…

    From what I have found on the web, Cocoa AppleScript based applications / AppleScript Studio are being abandoned by Apple. All Applescript references in recent versions of Xcode (v3.2+) would just be remainings from that past and should not be working anymore. And from what I see, there is no reference to AppleScript in Xcode 4… (except maybe file association/syntax coloring)

    So the only option I see to debug AppleScript, without using third party tools, is using that (uneffective) old debug-logging-technique: log xxx.
