ZeroBrane Studio

Is there possibility to debug hammerspoon scripts in zerobrane studio?

Maybe... glancing at the Wireshark debugging page (http://notebook.kulchenko.com/zerobrane/debugging-wireshark-lua-scripts-with-zerobrane-studio) it looks like you'll need to update your package.path and package.cpath variables with the path to the ZeroBrane application and then add require("mobdebug").start() to your init.lua...

The Wireshark examples are all for Windows and involve setting external environment variables... but the concepts are the similar... this is untested, but I suspect the following or something similar might work:

local ZBS = "/Applications/ZeroBraneStudio.app/Contents/ZeroBraneStudio"
package.path = package.path .. ";" .. ZBS .. "/lualibs/?/?.lua;" .. ZBS .. "/lualibs/?.lua"
package.cpath = package.cpath .. ";" .. ZBS .. "/bin/?.so;" .. ZBS .. "/bin/clibs53/?.so"
require("mobdebug").start()

The studio looks interesting and I may give it a whirl myself, but my time is limited at the moment, so I don't know when I'll get around to trying it out myself... hopefully this should get you moving in the right direction.

Minor update:

local ZBS = "/Applications/_ASM_/Developer/ZeroBraneStudio.app/Contents/ZeroBraneStudio"
package.path = package.path .. ";" .. ZBS .. "/lualibs/?/?.lua;" .. ZBS .. "/lualibs/?.lua"
package.cpath = package.cpath .. ";" .. ZBS .. "/bin/?.dylib;" .. ZBS .. "/bin/clibs53/?.dylib"
require("mobdebug").start()

Works for me, I added that snippet (without the "ASM/Developer/" part, since that's specific to where @asmagill keeps his applications :) to the top of my init.lua, opened init.lua in ZeroBrane and started its debugging server, told Hammerspoon to reload its config and bam, I was stepping through my init.lua and could interact with the hammerspoon Lua instance in the ZeroBrane console.

Very cool stuff :)

Ooops! I usually edit that kind of thing out... sorry!
