title: How to debug office add-in for mac?
body: <p>I am developing a MS office add-in for Word. The test version is working fine on Word for Windows, but fails on Office for Mac. </p>
  
  <p>On Office for Mac, the add-in loads as it is supposed to, but whenever I try to click a button that executes a JS script that calls on a php web service that communicates with a MySQL database, nothing happens. </p>
  
  <p>I don't get any error messages, so I am looking for advice on how to debug the add-in on a mac. What tools can I use?</p>
  
  <p>For background, I have tried </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>The Vorlon.js guidance here:
  <a href="https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/mim/2016/02/18/vorlonjs-plugin-for-debugging-office-addin/" rel="noreferrer">https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/mim/2016/02/18/vorlonjs-plugin-for-debugging-office-addin/</a></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>But it does not seem to work. The problem might be that I am not very familiar with Git, and following the instructions literally might not work.</p>

  <li>I have also tried loading the add-in directly in Chrome, and using the Dev tools. This does not work because the add-in depends on an API that it can only access when it is launched via Word.</li>
