The LSP either does not recognize the room variable as Room type or the annotations are not picked up. Here is what I get when I type either “.” or “:” for a room:

Yes, that solved the problem, thanks. It seems sumneko lua is not as good as emmylua on parsing nested annotations.

Hot reloading when .script and .lua files are saved

Hi, I got a little problem:
When I run the command “Defold: Build”, the Defold editor cannot be found by the extension:
If I click the " Open Defold" button, a new Defold editor will be opened and the project will be loaded, but it still cannot be found by the extension.
I’m using a Defold Editor downloaded from Steam.
Thank you for any tips.

I see. Looks like the extension can’t find the editor log files. They must be stored elsewhere by Steam.
Downloaded the extension today, also having a problem with Defold Project → Build, the extension says it can’t find the running editor. 1.4.3, macOS.

- Install https://github.com/moteus/vscode-mobdebug
- Add this code to any bootstrap script:
local mobdebug = require 'builtins.scripts.mobdebug'
mobdebug.start()
- Add this configuration to
.vscode/launch.json:
{
"name": "Lua MobDebug: Listen",
"type": "luaMobDebug",
"request": "attach",
"workingDirectory": "${workspaceFolder}",
"sourceBasePath": "${workspaceFolder}",
"listenPublicly": true,
"listenPort": 8172,
"stopOnEntry": false,
"sourceEncoding": "UTF-8"
},
- Run the listener in VSCode.
- Run the game, it will connect to the debugger.
Tested it with my shell script for building and running as the pre-task, works +/- fine.

Oh yes, this item isn’t required if you run the build in the Defold editor, as far as I understand it that way. Because Defold Editor already do it as a hook.
I could not test sooner, but I tested today on a MacBook and it works fine with tutorial projects. The Defold is installed from the website, not from Steam.
In extension v0.9.8 as a backup option you can enter editor’s port manually. You only input it once while the editor is running. If the editor restarts or closed and then re-opened it will get a new port and you will have to input it again.
