Updating the bundled debug adapters - Moonshine-IDE/Moonshine-IDE GitHub Wiki

This page is targeted at contributors to Moonshine IDE. Most users should go to Moonshine IDE documentation instead.

Moonshine IDE implements the debug adapter protocol, which means that it can potentially potentially integrate debugging for any language/runtime where someone has implemented a debug adapter. The instructions below explain how to update Moonshine's bundled third-party debug adapters.

• Chrome
• Firefox
• HashLink
• HXCPP
• SWF
