Debugger workflow

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

Hi, first post. I’m a long time programmer, but new to Corona and Lua.

Is there a way to launch the debugger from command line and specify the app? This works:

./simulator /path/to/app

This does not:

./debugger /path/to/app

What am I missing? Repeated debug sessions are getting tedious. Is there another way to go about this?

Thanks for any help. [import]uid: 12254 topic_id: 5448 reply_id: 305448[/import]

I agree, why not ./debugger /path/to/app ? [import]uid: 12088 topic_id: 5448 reply_id: 19186[/import]

Better yet, a way to restart your program in the debug window.

Right now it can restart on any source code changes, but you have to restart debug on each session. It be more convent if you could set debug to auto restart when code is changed.

Heck, something I just thought of. Having some kind of # directive in the lua file to autoset breakpoints, exec or dump’s.

Just a thought:P [import]uid: 12987 topic_id: 5448 reply_id: 19308[/import]
