Basically as the title states, I'm one of the people that have to restart the entire client just to test script changes.

I read this thread but nothing that was offered there helped me out:

This is how I setup Eclipse:

Yes, I'm clicking refresh in the bot client. All of the files are compiling in the OSBot script folder just fine and up to date, but the client will simply not run the new script.

 

If anyone has any other suggestions, I'd love to hear them. Thanks in advanced.

Export the jar file to the same path, and just overwrite the old jar. Then hit refresh on the client. That's all I have to do using eclipse anyway.

I've tried that. Still runs the old script somehow.

Check carefully if you really overwritten the jar (last change date in file system).

Are you using eclipse or intellij?

Eclipse

Yes, it's overwriting correctly.

 

EDIT: Figured it out. It only wasn't reloading scripts correctly if I ran the client directly through Eclipse. Once I launched OSBot by itself, it worked properly.

You can also write your own reloader that will reload the script on jar change, and run it on top of your script. Then you don't even need to go and stop the script and refresh for changes.

What if I want to run the client through the ide to set breakpoints?

Basically you just run a script as normal... but this script you run should actually just be something that loads in an external jar and executes it. Reloading the jar in whenever it changes (so you'd watch for file changes)

https://gist.github.com/anonymous/50ad5efb7e7cf3a3da8a097eadbd276d This is one i wrote for a different client (i apologize if this is not allowed),

but its the same basic idea, you can use that and just change it to make it work with osbot.

As far as I know, when you instantiate the class from the jar file, you can just pass the Script instance to the new class through the constructor.

Looks like you got it sorted out. Another thing worth watching out for is making sure you don't have multiple script files in the folder with the same manifest name.

This happened to me when I first started writing scripts
