Theseus is a JavaScript debugger extension for the Brackets code editor that supports debugging Node.js, Chrome, or both simultaneously. It provides real-time code coverage with call counts, retroactive inspection of function parameters and return values, and an asynchronous call tree.

Use cases

• debug JavaScript running in Node.js from my editor
• debug JavaScript running in Chrome
• see how many times each function has been called
• inspect function arguments and return values without adding console.log
• trace asynchronous callbacks in a call tree
• find dead code that is never executed

When to choose

• you use the Brackets editor and want integrated JavaScript debugging
• you need to debug code spanning both Node.js backend and Chrome frontend simultaneously
• you want retroactive inspection of past function calls instead of print debugging

When to avoid

• you use a modern editor like VS Code, which has built-in JavaScript debugging
• you need an actively maintained debugger with current Node.js and Chrome support
• you don't use Brackets and don't want to switch editors
