Debugging InDesign script in ExtendScript

[RGPatt]

I am trying to learn to script InDesign CC 2018 with javascript.  I used to do this routinely in After Effects, but it has been years.  I am starting with a sample script SelectObjects.jsx.  It runs fine when I invoke from the scripts panel.  If I make a copy of it and save it with a different name so that it shows up in the User portion of the scripts panel, it still runs fine.  When I open it in ExtendScript Toolkit CC version 4.0.01, I can edit it, but I cannot run it because it get an error on the very first line of the script saying UserInteractionLevels is undefined.  If I set breakpoints in ExtendScript and run it from the Scripts panel, it does not stop on the breakpoints.  Right now I just want to step through the script and watch the variables, but how do I debug a script in ExtendScript?  What I am missing?

Hi,

can you check the drop down list at the top on the left so extendscript to make sure it says the name of the application that you want to debug? (indesign cc 2018)

hope this helps
