LuaEdit debug

[robd 2]

Hi all,

 

I use LuaEdit to compose my Lua code before I copy it into e.g. a scene.

It would be nice to debug the code in LuaEdit before dumping it in the HC2, but,

if I hit the debug button in LuaEdit I get an error message at the first line where "fibaro" appears. Makes sense because "fibaro" is nowhere declared in LUA.

is there a way to circumvent this issue?

if one was to mock up all the fibaro table with dummy returns...

Possible (partial) solution here:

Sorry, if forgot to credit/answer you in the previous post. Yes, writing your own "fibaro simulator" is a possibility. Just declaring them empty wont get you very far. Probably your code will get stuck at this:

I have it (partly) running for my HC and for debugging. It's nowhere near a complete solution and I'm not sharing it, because it is constantly in flux... Think about it: how are you going to simulate device state, events, http access, Sonos TTS...

 

I'm talking about offline debugging now, not "online", like the solution I linked in the previous post.

 

So here's your first "emulator" to get past that very first check in your script:

You'll probably want to manage other namespaces too, like

Unless, of course, you are happy to adjust the script time & date tests to the current time of your PC.

Also, bear in mind that the PC clock will deviate from the HC2 clock.

 

I can go on for hours like this

 

But I'm not going to!

No problem Peter. 

 

I used to do that with a table of scene ids and device ids and properties loaded from the api so that a lot of it pretended to work.

 

Maintaining it was all too much hassle. I therefore opted for a simpler alternative. 

 

Don't make mistakes in my code

Exactly! Exactly! And no mistake, only "features"!

Ah,

As I am no software hacker it takes some time to digest above info.

As I understand it now, LuaEdit, even with the library will not function all the way.

ZeroBrane has as I understand it, a connection with the HC2 so one could debug code in ZeroBrane while using the HC2 as a remote debug machine.

hhmmm very interesting but serious stuff.

What I only wanted was something to check the syntax of my code so that at least that step was taken before dumping my code in the HC2 Lua editor.
