v1.1.1

This release contains a fix for the issue where the uxp-inspect-app was not building while running yarn install.

Software Requirements:

• Node version >=10.0.0
• Yarn version >= 1.5.0
• Git
• Enable ScriptDeveloper mode in Photoshop from Preferences >> Technology previews >> ScriptDeveloper
• Enable Developer mode in Windows (Settings > Update & Security > For Developers > Developer Mode)

Known Issues:

• (UXP-13576) When a breakpoint is hit, the Inspector window is not coming into focus.
• (UXP-13502) Manifest validation is very basic in the current build. More validations will come in later builds.
• (UXP-13504) Only one instance of UXP Developer tools service should be launched.
• (UXP-14061) Git has to be installed on the user machine before running yarn install
• Icons will not load when launched using the devtools.
• Plugin bundle and data paths are not available when using the devtools. (plugin://, plugin-data://)
• uxp plugin log path shows homescreen plugin path.

Steps to use:

• Download "Source code.zip" on your local machine
• Extract it to some directory
• Cd into the directory and run yarn install
  Now you should be able to use uxp commands from the terminal

(Note: On Windows you may need to refer to uxp with the full path (or add it to your path). For example, on my machine: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Yarn\bin\uxp plugin load

v1.1.0

This release contains supports for following UXP developer tools commands in windows:

1. Plugin initialization
2. Plugin loading
3. Plugin reloading

Build details:

2. Yarn version >= 1.5.0
3. Enable ScriptDeveloper mode in Photoshop from Preferences >> Technology previews >> ScriptDeveloper

Known Issues:

1. (UXP-13501) Photoshop modules are not loaded when issuing successive load command for same plugin. Use reload for reloading the plugin in same session or relaunch PS and load plugin.
2. (UXP-13576) When a breakpoint is hit, Inspector window is not coming into focus.
3. (UXP-13502) Manifest validation is very basic in current build.More validations will come in later builds.

IMPORTANT

For macOS, there is a bug where uxp service start won't work if devtools hasn't been enabled before. If you can a permissions error about a path, use the following steps to work around it manually.

• Navigate to /Library/Application Support/Adobe/UXP/Developer
• Create a new file called settings.json (this will require sudo). I use vi, but any editor will do.

Inside this file, put:

{
        "developer": true
}
