Run a google standalone apps script for UI from the Script Editor

Question

I have a standalone Google Apps Script to implement a UI, with a doGet function.

I can deploy it, and access by a URL, and it works.

I can't see how/if I can test from the Script Editor. I can hit Run in the Editor, it executes the doGet script, but all that does is return an app object.

You can't debug the deployed script in the editor, although you can debug functions in your gs file(s) with the help of test functions. — Mogsdad

The closest thing you can do at present is to click.

publish (in the top menu) > Depoly as web app > Below the 'Current web app URL' you can select 'Test webapp for your latest code'.

This will open a browser tab with the current webapp while still not having to save a revision and publish.

The other option is the develop your UI in the context of a spreadsheet and call

SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();

But this has its obvious disadvantages.
