Additional Information

The .scriptrun command will load a script and, execute the following code.

  • root
  • intializeScript
  • invokeScript

A confirmation message is displayed when the code is loaded and executed.

0:000> .scriptrun C:\WinDbg\Scripts\helloWorld.js

Hello World!  We are in JavaScript!

Any object model manipulations made by the script will stay in place until the script is subsequently unloaded or is run again with different content.

This table summarizes which functions are executed by .scriptload and .scriptrun.

.scriptload .scriptrun
root yes yes
initializeScript yes yes
invokeScript yes
uninitializeScript

You can use this code to see which functions are called with the .script run command.

// Root of Script
host.diagnostics.debugLog("***>; Code at the very top (root) of the script is always run \n");


function initializeScript()
{
    // Add code here that you want to run every time the script is loaded. 
    // We will just send a message to indicate that function was called.
    host.diagnostics.debugLog("***>; initializeScript was called \n");
}

function invokeScript()
{
    // Add code here that you want to run every time the script is executed. 
    // We will just send a message to indicate that function was called.
    host.diagnostics.debugLog("***>; invokeScript was called \n");
}
