ਮੌਡਿਊਲ:SimpleDebug
Contains a functions to help debug the lua modules. It allows to collect and view the values of several variables and/or points in your lua program, from a module (which is usual) or in several modules (which are required from the main module).
It is designed so that its functions are called from within the module that is to be debugged, calls that will have to be part of the code (of the module that you have designed, or that you want to improve or adapt) until you decide to delete them (when you already have determined the bug). Thus, you do not have to call any of its functions from an invoke.

Examples
[ਸੋਧੋ]One point to watch
[ਸੋਧੋ]Following the flow
[ਸੋਧੋ]local SD = require "Module:SimpleDebug"
return SD.v ('Here is reached')
returns:
Here is reached
Number of decimal places and value of a variable
[ਸੋਧੋ]local SD = require "Module:SimpleDebug"
SD.dec = 2
return SD.v (1/3)
returns:
0.33
Nohtml
[ਸੋਧੋ]local SD = require "Module:SimpleDebug"
SD.nohtml = true
return SD.v ("<b>bold</b>")
returns:
"⪡b⪢bold⪡/b⪢"
Plaintext
[ਸੋਧੋ]local SD = require "Module:SimpleDebug"
SD.plaintext = true
return SD.v ("<b>bold</b>")
returns:
"bold"
The value of several variables
[ਸੋਧੋ]local SD = require "Module:SimpleDebug"
local a = 12
local b = 'Hello'
return SD.v (a,b)
returns:
12 • "Hello"
Non-assigned variable detection
[ਸੋਧੋ]local SD = require "Module:SimpleDebug"
local a = true
return SD.v (a,b)
returns:
true • nil
The value of a table
[ਸੋਧੋ]local SD = require "Module:SimpleDebug"
local a = {1, tab='a', 'b'}
return SD.v (a)
returns: { 1, "b", [tab]="a", }
local SD = require "Module:SimpleDebug"
local a = {{1,2,3},{4,5,6},{7,8,9}}
return SD.v (a)
returns:
{ [1] = {1, 2, 3, }, [2] = {4, 5, 6, }, [3] = {7, 8, 9, }, }
local SD = require "Module:SimpleDebug"
local a = {{First=1,2,3},{4,Second=5,6},{7,8,9}}
return SD.v (a)
returns:
{ [1] = {2, 3, [First]=1, }, [2] = {4, 6, [Second]=5, }, [3] = {7, 8, 9, }, }
local SD = require "Module:SimpleDebug"
SD.tab.allidx = true
local a = {{1,2,3},{4,nil,6},{7,8,9}}
return SD.v (a)
returns:
{ [1]={[1]=1, [2]=2, [3]=3, }, [2]={[1]=4, [3]=6, }, [3]={[1]=7, [2]=8, [3]=9, }, }
Usually, you implement these functions with error function:
local SD = require "Module:SimpleDebug"
local a = {{1,2,3},{4,5,6},{7,8,9}}
error (SD.v (a))
displays:
Lua error:Module:YourModule:Line:{
[1] = {1, 2, 3, },
[2] = {4, 5, 6, },
[3] = {7, 8, 9, },
}
All values of a table in multiline
[ਸੋਧੋ]local SD = require "Module:SimpleDebug"
SD.tab.oneline = false
local a = {{First=1,2,3},'Middle',{4,Second=5,6}}
return SD.v (a)
retorna:
{ [1] = { [1] = 2, [2] = 3, ["First"] = 1, }, [2] = "Middle", [3] = { [1] = 4, [2] = 6, ["Second"] = 5, }, }
The value of several variables with their name in a point
[ਸੋਧੋ]local SD = require "Module:SimpleDebug"
local a = 12
local b = 'Hello'
return SD.nv ('a',a,'b',b)
returns:
a: 12 • b: "Hello"
