Testing script before starting eggdrop ?

[Danko]

Is there any way to test a script (that it wont crash the egg etc) ?

Atm I'm editing script, rehashing eggdrop, editing again, etc etc..
This works, but I feel its a waste of time, re-starting the eggdrop every time it crash...... huh..?

Enclose the code within catch.

Code: Select all

catch {
 #code here
}

and use .set errorInfo to see errors.

I personally use this little script to load my scripts:

Code: Select all

#	#	#	#	#	#	#	#	#
# .loadtcl
#

bind dcc n loadtcl loadtcl

proc loadtcl {hand idx args} {
	if {$args == {{}}} {
		set args $::lasttclloaded
	} else {
		set ::lasttclloaded $args
	}
	uplevel #0 [list source scripts/$args.tcl]
	return 1
}

This will simply "rehash" a single script, very fast and very usefull imho.
ex.:
If you want to rehash 'scripts/google.tcl' just type:
.loadtcl google

If you get something like '[18:28:57] #De_Kus# loadtcl google' loading was successfull, else you should see the TCL error (if not disabled on console).
ex.:
.loadtcl idonotexist
[18:38:42] Tcl error [loadtcl]: couldn't read file "scripts/idonotexist.tcl": no such file or directory

There is no need to let the bot crash every time.
Use the 'saved source' command, errorInfo and backtraces. Should be enugh help. Enjoy. =)
