Re: [wxlua-users] debugging lua scripts

[Paul K <pau...@ya...>]

Hi Milind,

I quickly tried that in wxLua, but couldn't figure out how to specify
the folder to run scripts in so that loadfile and io.open would work.

I also tried to do this in ZeroBrane Studio
(https://github.com/pkulchenko/ZeroBraneStudio) and it seems like it
may work for you (the IDE is wxlua based). I'm not sure what your code
looks like, but let's say you have loadedfile.lua script that you are
trying to load and it has the following lines:

-- loadedfile.lua
print "123"
print "456"
function foo()
  print "foo"
end

You also have loadfile.lua script which has something like this:

-- loadfile.lua
--local func = loadfile('loadedfile.lua')
local f = assert(io.open('loadedfile.lua'))
local str = f:read('*all')
f:close()
local func = loadstring(str, 'loadedfile.lua')
func()
foo()
print 'Done'

If you open both of these files in ZeroBrane Studio and start
debugging with loadfile.lua being in the active editor window, you
should be able to step through both of them. You can also set a
breakpoint on either of the files and it should work.

Note that I added "loadedfile.lua" as a parameter for loadstring(),
which informs the debug interface as to where to search for the source
code.

Paul.
