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.

Is there an "official for library use" FAIAP out there somewhere? Some cursory searching didn't turn anything up.

Right now I'm using a copy of the file from WowLua, ever so slightly edited to be local to my own addon, but with a test that if WowLua is already loaded then mine just looks at WowLua.indent instead.

Completely unrelated, and I'm not sure I care enough to fix it. It's due to the fact that I use the packager at WowInterface and Curse is just 'syncing' to that repository, so it doesn't get the benefit of the packager. I'll probably fix it at some point =).

Aye, it had the look of some automated process that hadn't quite survived the sync across hosting systems.

Hi.

At the top of FAIAP.lua is the line

lib.revision = revision

but the 'revision' on the RHS here resolves to a nil global. This doesn't seem to cause any problems, however, as the revision field being assigned to is never used anywhere else.

I stumbled across this while looking into using FAIAP in one of my own addons, thought I'd mention it for the next time you were doing a cleanup pass.

edit: Possibly related note, the Version metadata field on the curse.com package is distributed as "Version: wowi:revision", which then shows up inside the WowLua.VERSION string. Somewhere, it looks like, a search-and-replace operation has fallen down. :-)

That is not the correct solution. i've already fixed a few places in this code where this occurs, I just obviously missed this one.

Hallo Cladhaire,

first of all, I would like to let you know, that I'm using this addon for a long time and it makes writing and testing of addons much easier. Good job!

The minor inconvenience is, that every time I rename a page, I get:

WowLua.lua line 421:
attempt to index global 'ChatFrameEditBox' (a nil value)

Afterwards, saving changes to that page is no problem.

And there is, and quite easy one.
Just make an addon with sole purpose to have a SV.
And dump whatever you want to save to that SV.
Logout your character, and all your data will be right there.

Thankyou for these new additions.

It would be quite a hack in order to do that, it's a scrolling message frame in the same way the chat frame is. There's got to be a better way to do what you're doing =)

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.
