Debugging Lua code launched from a Lua program [message #900908]

Hi,
I have been using LDT for quite some time now. It works great. Now I want to debug a script that my Lua program loads using loadstring and executes. I added the require('debugger')() line as the 1st line of the script and opened it in LDT and then launched the script from my Lua program. Somehow the code stops execution right after executing the script and not inside it.
How can I get this to work?

Thanks,
Milind

Hi,
The dynamic code is not supported, it means that any code that is loaded with load, loadstring will not be supported. The debugger will step over it just like a C function.

Thanks for the reply. Do you know of any other good way to debug such dynamic code? Also it seemed logical to me that once a lua code is launched by having debugger required and if the debug server is waiting for a connection it should enter into a debug session. Why does it matter that is is launched by load?
