WowLua

Version: v1.1.1-release

by: Cladhaire [More]

WowLua should be classic compatible!

WowLua is an in-game Lua scripting environment that includes an interactive Lua interpreter as well as a multi-page script editor. Other features include:

Syntax coloring, courtesy of krka's spectacular For All Indents and Purposes library
Sleek buttons, courtesy of Mikk
When WowLua is running code, it defines a global function print() which directs output to the WowLua window, for convenience. This global is removed when not running from WowLua
Can run WowLua pages from the commandline using /wowluarun or /luarun. Each slash command takes the name of a page, and prints any issues or activity to the chat frame. These can thus be used from macros.
Can open WowLua using /wowlua or /lua. Both of these slash commands will take a lua expression and run it, if provided:

/lua print(14) will open WowLua and print the number 14 to the output window.

Please feel free to post any comments or questions here, you'll find I'm relatively responsible. This addon has been written primarily as a companion tool for World of Warcraft Programming: A Guide and Reference for Creating WoW Addons.

AnrDaemon hit the nail on the head. I understand not wanting to take the addon outside of the scope of its intended purpose. I'll look into your suggestions here, these seem appropriate.

As a follow the addon Hack is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again for your input.

Console log?
I don't recall if there's a direct way, but reloading the UI would do it 100%.

Sure, but reloading UI - bad and time cost way

IF there is no such, Developer should add method to be able do this ^^ Like Clear();

So each run you will have fresh output - helpful when you have printing output to console and changing stuff

legowxelab2z8 A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 2 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	7.1 Update With 7.1 came changes to ScrollingMessageFrame which WowLua uses for the output frame. In WowLua.xml After line 667 add Lua Code: <OnLoad> self:SetFont([[Interface\AddOns\WowLua\fonts\VeraMono.ttf]], 14) self:SetJustifyH("LEFT") self:SetFading(False) </OnLoad> The <FontString inherits="WowLuaMonoFont" justifyH="LEFT"/> line isnt used by the new ScrollingMessageFrame so it defaults to no font which is why the output doesnt display. The function GetNumLinesDisplayed() and GetCurrentScroll() no longer exist so I changed the canScroll function to Lua Code: local function canScroll(scroll, direction) if direction == "up" then return not scroll:AtTop() end if direction == "down" then return not scroll:AtBottom() end return true; end The OnMessageScrollChanged event is no longer being fired which means WowLua:UpdateScrollingMessageFrame is no longer being called so the scroll arrows aren't turing on/off when scrolling. I haven't yet found the new event name to use.

Can you please consider adding support for:
1) Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y (undo \ redo) for typing in addon editor window
2) Clear Log button (which do clear log in addon UI bottom part of window)

Those would be very handy, Thanks!

Would be useful but I don't see myself getting around to adding this anytime soon.

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.
