Run Menu

The Run menu allows you to get maximum efficiency and accuracy from your files and projects through analyzing and testing your code using the Debugging , Profiling and Run functions.

 

Running a file or application will display the output in the Browser and Debug Output views, as well as displaying any error or warning messages in the console view.

 

Debugging a file or application allows you to view the output and any error notices, as well as information about various elements, at various stages while the file is run. For more information on Debugging, see Debugging Files and Applications.

 

Profiling a file or application allows you to detect bottlenecks in scripts by locating problematic sections of code.

For more information on Profiling, see Profiling Files and Applications .
