Excellent addon, and a very good replacement for myDebug which is now broken. I have two suggestions:

1) Add the following code to the toc:

## LoadManagers: AddonLoader
## X-LoadOn-Slash: /wowlua, /lua

This allows it to load automatically when the slash command is executed, if AddonLoader is installed. Otherwise it is just ignored. This saves the load time for those 99/100 sessions where you're not using it.

2) Use something else than print, as that symbol is now already in the global namespace for use by addons (it was introduced in 3.0.2 i believe).

The .TOC changes have been made. I had meant to put AddonLoader support in a while ago, so the code should support it just fine. As for changing the name of the print function, I have no plans to do that at this time. This addon is meant to be able to act as a Lua interpreter, and that means taking code that works in stock Lua and having it work here.

It should not redefine the global print function, which you can still access via getfenv(0).print, if desired.

It means someone or something is calling the function that's on or near line 32, and being passed incorrect arguments. Most specifically you probably need to pass the frame as the first argument to that function. However, without more information, it's almost impossible to tell.

You'd need to give us at the very least a stack traceback.. or the code that is calling into the UI template, etc. The easiest way to get a stack traceback is to download and install Swatter, a bug-tracking addon:

Cladhaire Salad! Forum posts: 1935 File comments: 4939 Uploads: 19	I've added an undo/redo system to WowLua as well as a set of keybindings to Run/Save the current page. Please play with the undo/redo system before relying on it as there may still be some edge cases where it may not behave as expected. The "undo" points are whenever you run or save the code. I could probably add a system where it does series of changes but I don't really want to turn this into that type of a text editor, considering the overhead it would incur. __________________ "There's only one thing that I know how to do well and I've often been told that you only can do what you know how to do well, and that's be you-- be what you're like-- be like yourself.

Heya, I think that the option would be handy to have.

Anyhow, it's awesome, great job mate.

Lombra A Molten Giant Forum posts: 554 File comments: 271 Uploads: 24	Thank you for the key bindings! But the key I use to toggle the window is also inserted into the command line. Either way, could you make the frame not request focus upon opening it? And a minor thing.. the counter for new page naming isn't being reset. When I create a new page, it's named like "Untitled 48", when I only have 5 or so saved pages. __________________ Grab your sword and fight the Horde!

I'll look into the first, but the naming isn't something I really plan to change right now. It helps prevent any duplicates without having to do any checking.

Downloaded and installed, it will be SO much easier to work on ideas. True, other addons, like NotesUNeed, allows for editing lua code, loading, saving, executing, but this is much nicer, and with colored text too!! /hug Chadhaire

Huh? This addon is fully up to date. What precisely is the problem?

Some folks have asked for how they can donate money, and for many years I've enjoyed hearing about how my addons have helped other people enjoy World of Warcraft. If you would like to donate, I'd ask you to make a donation to the Colorectal Cancer Alliance, a worthy organisation that helped my sister immensely from her diagnosis through her final years. If you or a family member suspect you might have something not right in your butt, please have a doctor check it out. Colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable cancers in the world.
