How do I test my livecode project?

Post by UtahCode197 »

The 'test' button is greyed out and I can't get it to be press-able.
Does anyone know what I've done wrong?
Thanks

Hi Rory,

the "TEST" menu item is menat to test your stack on the iOS (or ANDROID?) simulator.
To "run" your stack on MacOS, Win or Linux, just switch to the BROWSE tool (topleft in TOOLS palette) and it runs :-)


Best

Hi,
Another way to test is to go to the Development menu, and choose Suspend Development Tools. This will also hide all the LiveCode windows.

Although, I find that the best way to test something is to save it as a standalone application, then run it from the computer without relying on LiveCode.

What platform are you trying to build for? Mobile? Desktop? If mobile, do you want to test on iOS or Android?

As Klaus said, the Test button does not apply to stacks run on the desktop.
