[Mac] Corona Simulator (Terminal) Launcher (handy access)

Danny · January 16, 2012, 4:13am

Hey guys.

Just made a quick applescript program to enable you to :

A) Be able to have a dock entry (/app) for launching the corona simulator (with terminal)
B) handy for launching 2 simulator windows

Installation :

Just drag the the app into your applications folder, then if you want a dock entry drag the app from the applications folder into your dock.

Note : To launch two simulator windows you need to first launch corona as you would then launch the corona simulator launcher

Note2 : This applescript assumes you have installed corona in

Applications/CoronaSDK

And have not modified the name (or path), if you have you will either need to open up the app in applescript and modify the path or not use it i guess

Enjoy

Thanks!

Any chance of a command line access script? Would love to set settings at te console and send my app to ios simulator. I have been testing a features that only work on hardware/iOS sim. [import]uid: 110373 topic_id: 20494 reply_id: 80384[/import]

+1 and a command line build if there isn’t one already. It would be nice to be in your editor, something like Sublime Text and hit CMD-B to launch the build system.

@Brad, maybe… I only made this as I found the need for it myself and thought i might as well share.

@Rob: same as above [import]uid: 84637 topic_id: 20494 reply_id: 80450[/import]

I can get it to launch, but lets say Corona is already running via the terminal. How can I get it just execute a build command from another app? [import]uid: 19626 topic_id: 20494 reply_id: 80455[/import]

Hey rob, I use CPM so i usually have that running then the second one via my apple script.

So that way im getting two simulators, both outputting data, however For most cases just the one terminal output sufficed for me [import]uid: 84637 topic_id: 20494 reply_id: 80458[/import]

My problem is I will be in Sublime and think I CMD-TAB to the simulator (or think I clicked on it) and hit CMD-B and get an error about “No Build System”. Then I go “Doh!” in my best Homer Simpson, click on the simulator and then hit CMD-B again.

“The requested url is not in this server” is what I get when I try to download from your link above. I’d love to have this… thanks! [import]uid: 124116 topic_id: 20494 reply_id: 122527[/import]

Looks like a .htaccess redirect related issue - Danny recently changed his URL. (Minus one “d”.) Will mention this to him [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 20494 reply_id: 122553[/import]

Hey mkelly. Sorry about that.

I had to change my company name (due to a legal registration screw up - long story).

You can find the terminal launcher here: http://www.infusedreams.com/apps/Corona-Terminal-Launcher.zip

I’m having more work done on my site and will eventually get around to having a listing of all these apps I have knocking around for Corona.
