Problems with console

I feel great that the console is opened in the version of the simulator (Version 2014.2511 (2014.11.18)). But there is something I do not understand. A print order in the text editor should be displayed on the console and that does not happen.

What am I doing wrong?

I’m not sure I follow your issue.  “print” statements in your code should show in the terminal.

Look: the terminal opens with the simulator. This did not happen before. Does the terminal used to receive messages from the text editor that we use with the simulator?

What text editor are you using?

Hi, Rob: TextWrangler.

The terminal that Corona SDK opens is only used to receive messages generated by Corona SDK’s simulator.  If you have print statements in your code:

print(“hello world”)

print(score)

etc. show up in that terminal.  If there are errors that show up from your code, they will also be in that Windows.  TextWrangler does not use it in any way.

I think we do not understand. The text editor I use is TextWrangler. If any of the use the “print” command lines, would I be reflected in the terminal. Is that so?

TextWrangler is simply a text editor.  You write your .lua files and save them.  Then the Corona Simulator runs the .lua files.  The terminal window that the Corona Simulator starts never talks to Text Wrangler.  Text Wrangler is not part of the process of running your Corona code.  If you have “print” statements in your .lua code, the output from those print files will show in the Terminal window that the Corona Simulator starts up.

You may write the print statement in Text Wrangler, but you write all your statements there.
