Question

Debug Lightroom with ZeroBrane --> Error

I'm trying to start developing a Lightroom plugin and I'm using the ZeroBrane IDE for it because debugging should be possible with it. I followed the instruction from

http://notebook.kulchenko.com/zerobrane/debugging-lightroom-plugins-zerobrane-studio-ide-site

But I allways get an error when I run the plugin within Lightroom. The message says:

module 'mobdebug' not found:
no field package.preload['mobdebug']
no file './mobdebug.so'
no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/mobdebug.so'
no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/loadall.so'

In the folder /usr/local/lib/ there is no folder called /lua/5.1/

I guess it has to do with my LUA installation but I could not figure it out yet. I hope you can help me somehow.

I use macOS High Sierra (10.13.4) and Lightroom Classic CC (7.3.1).

thanks for you help

I've never used Zerobrane, though others here have and hopefully can help.  You might also consider my lightweight Debugging Toolkit.

 

It's a little tedious to initially set your source code, and you have to follow some conventions to debug tasks. But you have to do similar things with Zerobrane.  (Adobe has never put in the small amount of effort needed to make debugging easier.)
