Lua Glider 2.0 Released! Integrated Profiler and More

I have 2.0 working and I have noticed that globals even though checked in the preferences in the Navigator preferences pane, are not showing up correctly in the navigator.  Is this a bug?

Hello Hector,

Thanks for the kind words, we really appreciate it.

Thanks for taking the time to upload the video, we really appreciate it. However I cannot seem to find anything wrong with the video, does the program freeze the first time around? Does the program become unresponsive?

Please upload logs via help-> upload logs and we will check it out.

I noticed that even though I’m up to date, the version I have is still 2.0 but I see in the news section that there is a version 2.0.1 but not sure why the auto-update hasn’t downloaded it

Yes. If the whats new section says 2.0.1 then Glider is correctly updated. The version number in the about box will remain 2.0 for the remainder of this version.

Thanks, I just uploaded the logs. It only becomes unresponsive after creating a new project or creating a new blank lua file. No big deal for me, as once I restart it everything works correctly. For the blank lua files, I create them outside the program and it picks them up automatically

How do External Libraries work?

I watched the video for the 1.8 version preview where you explained it quicky, but  I still haven’t figured out how to use them.

For example, if I try to insert the folder for the SSK library that I use all the time, (under Set Configuration/Customize/Edit/Configuration Properties / Add Library)  and require the library from main folder (require “ssk.globals”; require “ssk.loadSSK”), I get an error when I run or debug the project.

I think the idea is that I just link my libraries saving me time of copying them into my Project as I always have done it, but not sure how I should do it. I appreciate any help you can provide

Regards

Hector

I just stumbled on this and I checked but I did not get the upgrade email.

Currently running 1.9 so what would I need to do to update?

Hello Hector,

Please build the project and open the build folder like this:

Next ensure that the project structure you are expecting is actually what is there. I suspect that the SSK library folder is getting merged into the project folder instead of being put into its own ssk folder. To fix this please see this screenshot:

Yes thanks very much, that worked!, although I don’t see the ssk library in the project files on the left hand pane, maybe that’s the way it works.

Actually, I didn’t know that the build folder exist, I see it has a copy of all the project files. I always put all my files in the project folder that I placed on my Desktop or any other place, and then just click on run or debug project from there. What is the difference of clicking on build project first instead of just run or debug? What is the function of buliding a project? does it mean that if I have a new file (images, etc), should I copy it into the build folder instead of the project folder?

Thanks very much for your help

Regards

Hector

@penhalion,

Please check out:

http://wiki.netbeans.org/Java_EditorUsersGuide#How_to_use_Code_Templates

The instructions may be for java, but it works with lua too. And also please see this screenshot:

@joemauke,

Please ensure you have updated to the most recent version. If the symbol in question is not highlighted in green, please ctrl click it and see where it is going to, it may have been declared in some other file.

Hello Hector,

The build process will merge your project folder with the external libraries and will perform some changes to your main.lua file as well as add the debugger library file. These changes are not made to the master copy but to the build folder copy. The reason is to protect your master copy from corruption due to strange file locking issues, unforeseen bugs, and library merge conflicts. 

What is the difference of clicking on build project first instead of just run or debug? What is the function of buliding a project? does it mean that if I have a new file (images, etc), should I copy it into the build folder instead of the project folder?

When you click debug the project is first “built” and then the debugger library copied as well as the require line added to main.lua. When you click the hammer button the project is built but no debugger library or require line is added to main.lua. You generally use the hammer when you want to release a product and do not want the debugger library present. Please do not release a product with the debugger libraries present as your app wont run!

You should not need to manually copy and paste anything. The project manager will do it for you behind the scenes.

Got it thanks very much for the explanation, very clear.

Still looking for my email! :slight_smile:

You may have missed me because I bought the very first version, when it was called Cider - (I bought everything you made, including the now free AutoLAN).

I found the issue, it appears it’s more picky about syntax then 1.9 was. I had to crawl through each line and clean up my code for them to show up green again

Yay! Got it. Thanks guys.

Hi,

I just downloaded the v2.0 and not sure if my existing license works. I tried to copy & paste it to the “Unlock Product” section but it said the license is invalid. How can I know that if I’m using the trial version or the full one? 

Hello again,

Is there someone that could help me with the problem? It’s been more than 1.5 years that I’m developing on Glider and I want to keep on using it. Thank you.

Email them, bgmadclown. I did, and got a response in a few days.

Hello BGMadclown,

Please email us with your purchase information and we will help you.

I’ve forwarded you my Corona Cider purchase information. If there is anything else that I should do, let me know. I’m looking forward to using the v2.0 :slight_smile:
