Anyone figured out how to configure INTELLIJ IDEA to use the debugger?

Getting Started Newbie Questions

Hi All,

Apologies if this is documented somewhere, but I’m on day one.

I’ve downloaded IDEA Community Edition (A free IDE available here http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/)
I installed the LUA syntax highlighting addon (FILE > PREFERENCES > PLUGINS > ‘available tab’ > search “LUA” click download and install, restart program)

And so far everything looks great!

Whaut would really move me into overdrive is if I could figure out how to integrate the command line debugger into Intellij.

I imagine that there must be a way to do it. Considering IDEA is a pretty robust product and I’m betting other languages use command line debuggers…

Maybe I’ve got to wait for a plugin?

Anyways, If anyone’s got the know-how on this one, I’d be much obliged if you’d share.

I went to Run/edit configurations

On the left hand side i choose from defaults LUA.

In the filed Lua Interpreter I browsed for the Coronal Terminal file and now when I make changes in IntelliJ i see them live in the simulator and I also see any errors in intellij’

They look like this Copyright (C) 2009-2010 A n s c a , I n c . Version: 2.0.0 Build: 2011.484 The file sandbox for this project is located at the following folder: (/Users/myname/Library/Application Support/Corona Simulator/Test-567506DA3EDC8CA3037E7E9407D48475) Syntax error: /Users/myname/Desktop/Corona/Test/main.lua:7: unfinished string near '"Hello World 4,0, 300, nil, 24)'
