[SOLVED] debug commandArray

[jmleglise]

Hi,

Does anybody know how to print the content of commandArray ?

In a very big LUA script, I prepare a lot of command in commandArray like this :

Code: Select all

	commandArray[1]={['device']='Off'} 
	commandArray[2]={['device'']='Stopped AFTER 5'}
	commandArray[3]={['device']='Off AFTER 300'}
	commandArray[4]={['deviceX']='Off'}
	...
	return commandArray

But I have a bug, and I would like to check what I finally have in commandArray

This should work at the end of the script:

Code: Select all

for i, v in pairs(commandArray) do
   print('### ++++++> Device Changes in commandArray: '..i..':'..v)
end

return commandArray

EDIT:this works for the shown format:

Code: Select all

commandArray = {}

commandArray[1]={['device']='Off'}
commandArray[2]={['device']='Stopped AFTER 5'}
commandArray[3]={['device']='Off AFTER 300'}
commandArray[4]={['device']='Off'}

for i, v in pairs(commandArray) do
   print('### ++++++> Device Changes in commandArray: '..i..':' .. v["device"])
end

Thank you. You put me on the right way !

As my commandArray is filled with different device like this :
commandArray[1]={['motion']='On'}
commandArray[2]={['temp']='Off'}
commandArray[3]={['door']='On'}

the complete solution is :

Code: Select all

for i, v in pairs(commandArray) do
	for namedevice, t in pairs(v) do
		print('### ++++++> Device Changes in commandArray: '..i..namedevice.. v[namedevice])
	end 
end

I did not understand everything. But that works !

Just to make this work for both formats of responses in commmandArray:

Code: Select all

commandArray["test"]='Off'
commandArray["test3"]='Off AFTER 300'
commandArray[1]={['tdevice']='Off'}
commandArray[2]={['adevice']='Stopped AFTER 5'}
commandArray[3]={['cdevice']='Off AFTER 300'}
commandArray[4]={['bdevice']='Off'}

print('### ++++++> Device Changes in commandArray: ')
for i, v in pairs(commandArray) do
   if type(v) == "table" then
	   for namedevice, t in pairs(v) do
		  print('### '..i.."="..namedevice.."->".. v[namedevice])
	   end
	else
	  print('### '..i.."->".. v)
	end
end
