Debugging Lua?

[Guppy]

Maybe a stupid question but how do I debug in Lua?

 

I can set a break point but I cannot set watches or inspect variables and if something goes wrong or I make a typo it just crashed with no warning.

 

Shouldn't there be a lua console or something?

[Rick]

No watches but you can inspect variables with the Debug tab of the script editor.

[Guppy]

I assume by tab you mean like the ones that each script get?

 

 

So now bug I guess - linux have no lua debug tab

Try deleting your Leadwerks config and let it generate a new one, especially if you didn't do exactly that when the editor features were added under Linux recently.

Can't see the entire thing but maybe it's collapsed at the bottom or right and you have to put mouse over it and drag it over? I think that happened sometimes in Windows back in the day.

I did not - how do I do that?

[DerRidda]

~/.config/leadwerks/leadwerks.cfg

 

kill or rename that file.

It was probably hidden off to the side of the window.
