EN config.ini - AllowReload, WatchScripts help

[martindines]

Hi there,

I have not been able to enable the AllowReload configuration option (as specified in https://wiki.sinusbot.com/en:guides:other:configuration#scripts), either with, or without, WatchScripts specified.

My configuration is as follows:

[Scripts]
  AllowReload = true
  WatchScripts = ["script-name.js"]

The documentation does not clarify the exact usage of AllowReload.

- What is recognised as a script change to trigger reload?
- Is a WatchScripts definition required?
- Are the file names matched to the <sinusbot_root>/scripts directory?
- Are there any additional steps required to enable Script Reload on change?

Many thanks
Martin

when the file gets written to

- Is a WatchScripts definition required?

When you want the script to be reloaded you obviously have to set it in the config, so yes?
AllowReload just allows reloading, but doesn't do it automatically.

- Are the file names matched to the <sinusbot_root>/scripts directory?

yes

- Are there any additional steps required to enable Script Reload on change?

restart the bot after changing the config, otherwise: no

Great, thanks irgendwer

The reason I asked re WatchScripts requirement: it could be interpreted that AllowReload serves as a "Watch all", with WatchScripts allowing finer control.

Will give it a shot now, cheers
