Using a Method in a Workspace or the JadeScript Class

The Workspace or the JadeScript system class enables you to test a method. For example, you can:

Use the write instruction to output results to the Jade Interpreter Output Viewer window
Test that the common Open dialog for file selection is displayed
Subclass the JadeScript class in your user schemas
Run and debug a JADE script from any subclass of the JadeScript class

Running a JADE script in a subclass of JadeScript using the jadclient non‑GUI application requires the class to be specified in the executeClass command line parameter.
Debug a Workspace method

The JadeScript class also enables you to execute and debug methods independently of your JADE application. (Running a JadeScript method always starts a new application copy.)

You can execute a JadeScript method or Workspace code only from the current schema context (version)

The Refactor menu is disabled for a Workspace method because a Workspace has no self class object and therefore the menu is not relevant.
