Corona CIDER Advanced Debugger with IDE - v 1.5.1- Update

@M.Y.
Saving on focus lost, will not accomplish gravityapple’s request. He is working on a realtime coding environment, where the code is always running, therefore you are seeing your code execute as you enter it. That’s why he would love to have an auto save after every keystroke.

If you watch the video that he links, I believe you will be very inspired.

CIDER already has characteristics of this new paradigm on coding. That’s why I am loving the ability to alter variables with CIDER; testing variations without saving and relaunching. Now, if you added sliders (like in the video) to alter values, that would be much more useful.

Great to have the variable filter. Thanks. [import]uid: 47723 topic_id: 23072 reply_id: 99954[/import]

@flyingaudio,

Sorry for our ignorance. Sounds very interesting indeed, we will add that as a feature in an update.

I’d also like to point out that having autosave on every keystroke would be a really valuable feature for me (perhaps a toggle in the options screen). I’m so used to apps that do this already, not because I’m always running code, but since I use version control, it doesn’t make sense that I have to manually save constantly.

+1 on autosaving as you type! [import]uid: 49447 topic_id: 23072 reply_id: 100061[/import]

@M.Y.developers

There is something…like feature in PC version which doesn’t work well but it’s really cool while it works:

When I open Cider and start debugging, Corona simulator window pops ontop of the Cider and console window jumps behind. It is sooo cool! When I stop debugging by clicking stop button and start it again, this feature still works. BUT, as soon as I close Corona simulator by clicking on normal, upper right “close” button, this feature stops working. The only way to start it again is to close Cider and restart it.

It would be great if this works in both cases [import]uid: 101952 topic_id: 23072 reply_id: 100079[/import]

Anyone has cool theme for Cider (to ‘import’ or in ‘profile’ menu) ? [import]uid: 9328 topic_id: 23072 reply_id: 100174[/import]

Itsy Bitsy Bug…

Select find from the edit menu, or using CTRL F in windows.

Now you should see the Small Find area in your edit window, leave it open.

Now using the Edit menu click Edit->Replace

Replace would not show, unless you use CTRL-H from the keyboard, or unless you close the find area, and then re-select it from the menu.

Enjoying it Greatly! [import]uid: 11860 topic_id: 23072 reply_id: 100175[/import]

@M.Y.developers,

I noticed that in the output window some of my more lengthy print messages are sometimes truncated. Is there a limit to the output buffer? If so, is there a way to increase this limit?

Thanks.

@Antheor,
How about these?

http://www.ibrasten.com/articles/2007/10/24/fadetogrey-netbeans-textmate-themes

Are you still having issues with the font rendering? Did changing the font/size help any?

@producerism,
Noted, this will be available in the next update. Are you using version control integrated into CIDER? The local and remote history feature is very useful.

@doubleslashdesign,
Thanks for pointing that out. We will look into it. Glad you are enjoying it!

@BoarK,
There should not be a limit. The Lua side of things breaks it up into 2kb chunks if the print statement exceeds this size. How big of a print statement are you attempting to send?

Regards,
M.Y. Developers

@srdjan.markovic,
We are not sure why this happens, we certainly did not plan it to happen this way but we are glad it is a good feature. We will look into getting it to be more predictable.

Unfortunately most Netbeans themes don’t have nice colour formatting for Lua.

I brought Sublime-Monokai over to PhpStorm from Sublime Text a few weeks ago and now I’ve also brought it over to Cider.

Let me know what you think, as it’s still not complete just yet. [import]uid: 8889 topic_id: 23072 reply_id: 100254[/import]

@digitaldeath,

How do I install the Sublime theme ? [import]uid: 10141 topic_id: 23072 reply_id: 100262[/import]

Taruga · April 12, 2012, 2:27am

@M.Y.developers,

Indentation problems:

function limpa() for i=1, 50 do if CN[i] then CN[i]:removeSelf(); CN[i].on = false; CN[i] = nil end end for i=1, 11 do -- <indentation problem> if CE[i] then CE[i]:removeSelf(); CE[i].on = false; CE[i] = nil end end valida() -- <indentation problem> ainfo() end 

 function readTable(fp, baseDirectory) local path = system.pathForFile(fp, baseDirectory or system.DocumentsDirectory) file = io.open(path, "r") local myTable = {} if file then myTable = json.decode(file:read("*a")) io.close(file) return myTable else return nil end -- <indentation problem>end 
All my code is a big mess because of indentation problems [import]uid: 10141 topic_id: 23072 reply_id: 100267[/import]

Tools->Options and select “Import”.
Point to the .zip file and import the Fonts & Colors. [import]uid: 8889 topic_id: 23072 reply_id: 100279[/import]

Taruga · April 12, 2012, 3:34am

I don’t have any Tools->Options on Cider

Sorry, I didn’t realise you were on Mac. Cider->Preferences is normally where most of these settings reside on Mac apps. [import]uid: 8889 topic_id: 23072 reply_id: 100281[/import]

Antheor · April 12, 2012, 4:34am

Thx all for the theme feedbacks
Mydev, I managed to reach a better font rendering. As you give some direct theme links, does it mean cider support import theme from other ide ?
Digital I ll try to download and feedback your theme, thx anyway.

Mydev, as an hobby coder, comfort is quite important for me, that s why I m annoying you
Btw : in full screen view, I guess it would be cool to get rid of the upper tabs. [import]uid: 9328 topic_id: 23072 reply_id: 100289[/import]

digitaldeath · April 12, 2012, 4:57am

If anyone makes any improvements to my theme, please do share as it’s still very much a work in progress.
I’ve changed the text limit colour and updated the theme: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14373373/Sublime.zip

For those interested, here’s how this looks:

Looks nice, but I can’t figure how to install it on OS X [import]uid: 10141 topic_id: 23072 reply_id: 100300[/import]

While I’m waiting for the arrival of a new Macbook Pro (my old Macbook Pro finally bit the dust) I installed Cider on my Mac VM - however I do have to question your “Pro Developer” status if we’re having to hold your hand through such simple customisations.

In Cider, click Cider (top left)-> Preferences. Then in the preferences window, select Import (bottom left) and browse for the zip file I uploaded. Select the theme under Fonts & Colors.

I don’t know how easier I can make this… [import]uid: 8889 topic_id: 23072 reply_id: 100327[/import]

Taruga · April 12, 2012, 7:04am

The problem is that I was trying to open the Sublime.zip ( compressed file) as the Import option on Cider shows File Format by default as *.zip and that didn’t work. But it worked now when I unzipped it.

Anyhow, I did manage to get it working earlier using the terminal to copy the files & folders to ~/Library/Application\ Support/cider/dev/config/Editors/

As for the Pro Developer status, anyone with a healthy bank account can have this same status and that doesn’t make you more smart.

Thanks for your help [import]uid: 10141 topic_id: 23072 reply_id: 100330[/import]
