What happened to the error popup box on android?

Sometime fairly recently, an alert popup was added to android builds, so that when a lua error occurred you saw exactly what it was on the device.

Was this removed for some reason? Now I have to use logcat to check all my prints, but that’s not as useful as just getting the error message up on the screen.

Oddly, I find the popup on the simulator really inconvenient, because you cannot hit ctrl+r to refresh the simulator. A minor grumble, but for me it’s very annoying.

Hello @AIanPlantPot,

I think the parameter you’re looking for is the “showRuntimeErrors” flag in the config.lua file. Please inspect the section “Runtime Errors” in this guide:

Thanks Brent. I didn’t have to do that before, and must have missed when that flag was added.
