Just a thought

For god’s sake guys, make the Simulator responsive to case-sensitive errors. Having something work on the simulator and fail miserably on a device, because I forgot a capital letter is very soul destroying.

Search the forums.  RoamingGamer produced a small Lua module you can include that will catch those errors.

It has come to my attention that this module may be malfunctioning in OS X.  As I am primarily a Windows user, I hadn’t noticed.

Anyways, I will investigate and re-post when I have an answer.  Sorry for any trouble this may have cause OS X users.

A working OSX version would be great. Android is a lot more ‘accepting’ of these type of errors to start with… If I can help (BETA testing etc), just let me know.

Hello all.  I’m posting back to let folks know I FINALLY fixed the issue with caseErrorDetect and OS X.  The script works properly now and will detect case errors for these cases:

  • require
  • display.*
  • graphics.*
  • widget.*
  • composer.*

I purposely left audio.* and media.* unfixed since files may come from temporary, document, or event remote sources.  You can easily extend this module if you need to check temporary and document folders.
