can I find script name in LUA code?

[manjh]

Is there a way to use the name of the current script in LUA, so I can use it in logging?
I know I can do it "hard coded", but it would be more elegant if there is a way to pull it...

[manjh]

any ideas? Is there a simple way to use the script name in the LUA code?

Hello,

A quick search shows this possibility using a Lua debug module, if available in Lua interpreter build included with Domoticz?

But looks there is no luck as $0 in bash, __FILE in python or __FILE__ etc even here in good old C. Lua just misses this common feature builtin.

I use:

Code: Select all

local SCRIPT_NAME = string.gsub(string.match(debug.getinfo(1, 'S').short_src, "[^/]+$"), '.lua', '')

in all my scripts.

@Doler Nice! Very useful, thanks!

Excellent find !

Good tip, thank you. Although it does not really give me the actual name of the script, but rather the contents of the very first line of the script.
I could add your line of code to each script, but I might as well hard code the name as first LUA statement into SCRIPT_NAME.
Anyway, it gives me a way forward. Thanks.
