Zerobrane Love2d debugger error: attempt to index global 'love' (a nil value)

[inging]

Trying to quickly run some Love2d codes in the local console in Zerobrane

Code: Select all

function love.draw()
    love.graphics.rectangle("fill", 100, 200, 50, 80)
end

but I'm getting this error.

Code: Select all

[string "function love.draw()..."]:1: attempt to index global 'love' (a nil value)

I've already set project > lua interpreter > Love2d.
What am I missing?

@inging, you can't run Love code in Local console in ZBS as it's executed by the same interpreter that runs the IDE itself, which doesn't know anything about Love objects (since the error you are getting). What you *can* do is to start a debugging session on a simple (dummy) Love project and then execute Love code in the Remote console. You can modify love.draw and other love handlers from the console (although you can also use Scratchpad/Live coding if you want to test some quick/simple changes). Paul.
