Recently I looked at that option in the IDE, but I felt it has not just to do with automatically add a save() command after upload... I anyway do not use it because it just wears down the flash on my devices with the high-frequency round-tripping development style I tend to practice.
So sorry, have not much more helpful right now... if you can wiggle a pin and blink a led instead of print (or use the serial tx debug output of the 8266, that could may be of some help).
Espruino is a JavaScript interpreter for low-power Microcontrollers. This site is both a support community for Espruino and a place to share what you are working on.
I try to picture in your most recent feedback.
