After a few weeks with Corona I found a good compromise to debug my application.
First of all this “trick” works only for “non games” applications, intact if you carefully plan the developing you can concentrate all the standard 5.1.4 LUA syntax and functions in a specific file where you develop all the application functions and classes and leave the Corona API libraries and functions in other files.
Doing so you can easily debug the “pregiate” part oy your application with the splendid “LUA for windows” that have the SciTe step by step graphic debugger with variable watch and so on. So Web services access, SQL code, XML parsing, file I/O, sorting algothims can be fixed with this wonderful free debugger.
What about the rest of the application? (letteraly the GUI). Simple you don’t need it. Just follow the Director library example or the standard Asca sample code and you are fine. Just a print here or there and you have the GUI ready.
Hope that this hint helps to fight the stress of the “debugger lack”.
