- @Macadamia, for showing a way to print warnings upon accessing undeclared globals, where this all started with (https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/lua-very-simply-trick-to-help-lua-users-track-syntax-errors.326266/)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Provides debugging utility for Wc3-maps using Lua. |
| |
| Including: |
| 1. Automatic ingame error messages upon running erroneous code from triggers or timers. |
| 2. Ingame Console that allows you to execute code via Wc3 ingame chat. |
| 3. Automatic warnings upon reading undeclared globals (which also triggers after misspelling globals) |
| 4. Debug-Library functions for manual error handling. |
| 5. Caching of loading screen print messages until game start (which simplifies error handling during loading screen) |
| 6. Overwritten tostring/print-functions to show the actual string-name of an object instead of the memory position. |
| 7. Conversion of war3map.lua-error messages to local file error messages. |
| 8. Other useful debug utility (table.print and Debug.wc3Type) |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Installation: |
| |
| 1. Copy the code (DebugUtils.lua, StringWidth.lua and IngameConsole.lua) into your map. Use script files (Ctrl+U) in your trigger editor, not text-based triggers! |
| 2. Order the files: DebugUtils above StringWidth above IngameConsole. Make sure they are above ALL other scripts (crucial for local line number feature). |
| 3. Adjust the settings in the settings-section further below to receive the debug environment that fits your needs. |
| |
| Deinstallation: |
| |
| - Debug Utils is meant to provide debugging utility and as such, shall be removed or invalidated from the map closely before release. |
| - Optimally delete the whole Debug library. If that isn't suitable (because you have used library functions at too many places), you can instead replace Debug Utils |
| by the following line of code that will invalidate all Debug functionality (without breaking your code): |
| Debug = setmetatable({try = function(...) return select(2,pcall(...)) end}, {__index = function(t,k) return DoNothing end}); try = Debug.try |
| - If that is also not suitable for you (because your systems rely on the Debug functionality to some degree), at least set ALLOW_INGAME_CODE_EXECUTION to false. |
| - Be sure to test your map thoroughly after removing Debug Utils. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Documentation and API-Functions:
*
* - All automatic functionality provided by Debug Utils can be deactivated using the settings directly below the documentation.
*
* -------------------------
* | Ingame Code Execution |
* -------------------------
* - Debug Utils provides the ability to run code via chat command from within Wc3, if you have conducted step 3 from the installation section.
* - You can either open the ingame console by typing "-console" into the chat, or directly execute code by typing "-exec <code>".
* - See IngameConsole script for further documentation.
*
* ------------------
* | Error Handling |
* ------------------
* - Debug Utils automatically applies error handling (i.e. Debug.try) to code executed by your triggers and timers (error handling means that error messages are printed on screen, if anything doesn't run properly).
* - You can still use the below library functions for manual debugging.
*
* Debug.try(funcToExecute, ...) / try(funcToExecute, ...) -> ...
* - Calls the specified function with the specified parameters in protected mode (i.e. code after Debug.try will continue to run even if the function fails to execute).
* - If the call is successful, returns the specified function's original return values (so p1 = Debug.try(Player, 0) will work fine).
* - If the call is unsuccessful, prints an error message on screen (including stack trace and parameters you have potentially logged before the error occured)
* - By default, the error message consists of a line-reference to war3map.lua (which you can look into by forcing a syntax error in WE or by exporting it from your map via File -> Export Script).
* You can get more helpful references to local script files instead, see section about "Local script references".
* - Example: Assume you have a code line like "func(param1,param2)", which doesn't work and you want to know why.
* Option 1: Change it to "Debug.try(func, param1, param2)", i.e. separate the function from the parameters.
* Option 2: Change it to "Debug.try(function() return func(param1, param2) end)", i.e. pack it into an anonymous function (optionally skip the return statement).
* Debug.log(...)
* - Logs the specified parameters to the Debug-log. The Debug-log will be printed upon the next error being catched by Debug.try, Debug.assert or Debug.throwError.
* - The Debug-log will only hold one set of parameters per code-location. That means, if you call Debug.log() inside any function, only the params saved within the latest call of that function will be kept.
* Debug.throwError(...)
* - Prints an error message including document, line number, stack trace, previously logged parameters and all specified parameters on screen. Parameters can have any type.
* - In contrast to Lua's native error function, this can be called outside of protected mode and doesn't halt code execution.
* Debug.assert(condition:boolean, errorMsg:string, ...) -> ...
* - Prints the specified error message including document, line number, stack trace and previously logged parameters on screen, IF the specified condition fails (i.e. resolves to false/nil).
* - Returns ..., IF the specified condition holds.
* - This works exactly like Lua's native assert, except that it also works outside of protected mode and does not halt code execution.
* Debug.traceback() -> string
* - Returns the stack trace at the position where this is called. You need to manually print it.
* Debug.getLine([depth: integer]) -> integer?
* - Returns the line in war3map.lua, where this function is executed.
* - You can specify a depth d >= 1 to instead return the line, where the d-th function in the stack trace was called. I.e. depth = 2 will return the line of execution of the function that calls Debug.getLine.
* - Due to Wc3's limited stack trace ability, this might sometimes return nil for depth >= 3, so better apply nil-checks on the result.
* Debug.getLocalErrorMsg(errorMsg:string) -> string
* - Takes an error message containing a file and a linenumber and converts war3map.lua-lines to local document lines as defined by uses of Debug.beginFile() and Debug.endFile().
* - Error Msg must be formatted like "<document>:<linenumber><Rest>".
*
* -----------------------------------
* | Warnings for undeclared globals |
* -----------------------------------
* - DebugUtils will print warnings on screen, if you read an undeclared global variable.
* - This is technically the case, when you misspelled on a function name, like calling CraeteUnit instead of CreateUnit.
* - Keep in mind though that the same warning will pop up after reading a global that was intentionally nilled. If you don't like this, turn of this feature in the settings.
*
* -----------------
* | Print Caching |
* -----------------
* - DebugUtils caches print()-calls occuring during loading screen and delays them to after game start.
* - This also applies to loading screen error messages, so you can wrap erroneous parts of your Lua root in Debug.try-blocks and see the message after game start.
*
* -------------------------
* | Local File Stacktrace |
* -------------------------
* - By default, error messages and stack traces printed by the error handling functionality of Debug Utils contain references to war3map.lua (a big file just appending all your local scripts).
* - The Debug-library provides the two functions below to index your local scripts, activating local file names and line numbers (matching those in your IDE) instead of the war3map.lua ones.
* - This allows you to inspect errors within your IDE (VSCode) instead of the World Editor.
*
* Debug.beginFile(fileName: string [, depth: integer])
* - Tells the Debug library that the specified file begins exactly here (i.e. in the line, where this is called).
* - Using this improves stack traces of error messages. "war3map.lua"-references between <here> and the next Debug.endFile() will be converted to file-specific references.
* - All war3map.lua-lines located between the call of Debug.beginFile(fileName) and the next call of Debug.beginFile OR Debug.endFile are treated to be part of "fileName".
* - !!! To be called in the Lua root in Line 1 of every document you wish to track. Line 1 means exactly line 1, before any comment! This way, the line shown in the trace will exactly match your IDE.
* - Depth can be ignored, except if you want to use a custom wrapper around Debug.beginFile(), in which case you need to set the depth parameter to 1 to record the line of the wrapper instead of the line of Debug.beginFile().
* Debug.endFile([depth: integer])
* - Ends the current file that was previously begun by using Debug.beginFile(). War3map.lua-lines after this will not be converted until the next instance of Debug.beginFile().
* - The next call of Debug.beginFile() will also end the previous one, so using Debug.endFile() is optional. Mainly recommended to use, if you prefer to have war3map.lua-references in a certain part of your script (such as within GUI triggers).
* - Depth can be ignored, except if you want to use a custom wrapper around Debug.endFile(), you need to increase the depth parameter to 1 to record the line of the wrapper instead of the line of Debug.endFile().
*
* ----------------
* | Name Caching |
* ----------------
* - DebugUtils overwrites the tostring-function so that it prints the name of a non-primitive object (if available) instead of its memory position. The same applies to print().
* - For instance, print(CreateUnit) will show "function: CreateUnit" on screen instead of "function: 0063A698".
* - The table holding all those names is referred to as "Name Cache".
* - All names of objects in global scope will automatically be added to the Name Cache both within Lua root and again at game start (to get names for overwritten natives and your own objects).
* - New names entering global scope will also automatically be added, even after game start. The same applies to subtables of _G up to a depth of Debug.settings.NAME_CACHE_DEPTH.
* - Objects within subtables will be named after their parent tables and keys. For instance, the name of the function within T = {{bla = function() end}} is "T[1].bla".
* - The automatic adding doesn't work for objects saved into existing variables/keys after game start (because it's based on __newindex metamethod which simply doesn't trigger)
* - You can manually add names to the name cache by using the following API-functions:
*
* Debug.registerName(whichObject:any, name:string)
* - Adds the specified object under the specified name to the name cache, letting tostring and print output "<type>: <name>" going foward.
* - The object must be non-primitive, i.e. this won't work on strings, numbers and booleans.
* - This will overwrite existing names for the specified object with the specified name.
* Debug.registerNamesFrom(parentTable:table [, parentTableName:string] [, depth])
* - Adds names for all values from within the specified parentTable to the name cache.
* - Names for entries will be like "<parentTableName>.<key>" or "<parentTableName>[<key>]" (depending on the key type), using the existing name of the parentTable from the name cache.
* - You can optionally specify a parentTableName to use that for the entry naming instead of the existing name. Doing so will also register that name for the parentTable, if it doesn't already has one.
* - Specifying the empty string as parentTableName will suppress it in the naming and just register all values as "<key>". Note that only string keys will be considered this way.
* - In contrast to Debug.registerName(), this function will NOT overwrite existing names, but just add names for new objects.
* Debug.oldTostring(object:any) -> string
* - The old tostring-function in case you still need outputs like "function: 0063A698".
*
* -----------------
* | Other Utility |
* -----------------
*
* Debug.wc3Type(object:any) -> string
* - Returns the Warcraft3-type of the input object. E.g. Debug.wc3Type(Player(0)) will return "player".
* - Returns type(object), if used on Lua-objects.
* table.tostring(whichTable [, depth:integer] [, pretty_yn:boolean])
* - Creates a list of all (key,value)-pairs from the specified table. Also lists subtable entries up to the specified depth (unlimited, if not specified).
* - E.g. for T = {"a", 5, {7}}, table.tostring(T) would output '{(1, "a"), (2, 5), (3, {(1, 7)})}' (if using concise style, i.e. pretty_yn being nil or false).
* - Not specifying a depth can potentially lead to a stack overflow for self-referential tables (e.g X = {}; X[1] = X). Choose a sensible depth to prevent this (in doubt start with 1 and test upwards).
* - Supports pretty style by setting pretty_yn to true. Pretty style is linebreak-separated, uses indentations and has other visual improvements. Use it on small tables only, because Wc3 can't show that many linebreaks at once.
* - All of the following is valid syntax: table.tostring(T), table.tostring(T, depth), table.tostring(T, pretty_yn) or table.tostring(T, depth, pretty_yn).
* - table.tostring is not multiplayer-synced.
* table.print(whichTable [, depth:integer] [, pretty_yn:boolean])
* - Prints table.tostring(...).
