ZBS-torch is a fork of ZeroBrane Studio to get it to work with Torch-7

For an overview of ZeroBrane Studio, see README-zbs

• Written in Lua, so easily customizable.
• Small, portable, and cross-platform (Windows, Mac OSX, and Linux).
• Auto-completion for functions, keywords, and custom APIs.
• Interactive console to directly test code snippets with local and remote execution.
• Integrated debugger with local and remote debugging for Lua 5.1, Lua 5.2, Lua 5.3, LuaJIT, and other Lua engines.
• Live coding with Lua, LÖVE, Gideros, Moai, Corona SDK, GSL-shell, and other engines.
• Function outline.
• Fuzzy search with Go To File, project-wide Go To Symbol, and Insert Library Function.
• Several ways to extend the current functionality:
  • specs (spec/): specifications for file syntax, lexer, and keywords;
  • apis (api/): descriptions for code completion and tooltips;
  • interpreters (interpreters/): components for setting debugging and run-time project environment;
  • packages (packages/): plugins that provide additional functionality;
  • config (cfg/): settings for styles, color themes, and other preferences;
  • translations (cfg/i18n/): translations of the menus and messages to other languages;
  • tools (tools/): additional tools.

=======

• Get Torch

• Install mobdebug with luarocks with

$ luarocks install mobdebug

$ git clone https://github.com/soumith/zbs-torch.git
$ cd zbs-torch
$ ./zbstudio.sh

To debug a torch file,

• Start zbs from the zbs-torch directory with the command

$ ./zbstudio.sh

• Start the debugger server from "Project->Start Debugger Server"

• Change the interpreter to Torch-7 "Project->Lua Interpreter->Torch-7"

• Add the following line to the top of the file you are debugging

require('mobdebug').start()

For Example, this file

require 'image'
print('Wheres Waldo?')
a=image.rotate(image.lena(), 1.0)
image.display(a)
print('OK Bye')

becomes

require('mobdebug').start()
require 'image'
print('Wheres Waldo?')
a=image.rotate(image.lena(), 1.0)
image.display(a)
print('OK Bye')

• Run the file from the menu "Project->Run"
• You should see the debugger stop at the first line of the file, then you can set breakpoints, continue, step etc.
