Package Restarting (JS)

[Chopper]

I think having a package reload and restart feature would be essential. Right now the server restart thing works, but after 10-20 restarts, I believe the client gets filled up with all the compiled code, and puts itself to not responding, resulting in a complete freeze and having to restart the client.

This makes it pretty cumbersome when working on things that need constant testing.

Even a built in /reconnect command would work, just something that empties all the garbage.

You can write tests for that things

So take an example. You are trying to fix a weird bug, and you contantly need to restart the server to update the package code. How would you manage that? I honestly have no idea how people are running servers and developing gamemodes without this feature, I cant stand crashing every 5 minutes.

What types of things need constant testing, are you referring to carrying out regression testing? you should aim to develop your resource with a greater separation of concerns so code changes doesnt effect the rest of your code and make it easier to debug

This sounds like a you problem . do you have an example of what causes these crashes? maybe incorrect usage of the rage api is causing this. its very rare for me to crash in a stable build of RAGE:MP.

Crashes happen after 5+ server restarts.

 

Constant testing: Positioning elements maybe? A lot of things, you just have to be open minded.

I don't want to restart the server when there are many players. 

The MTA:SA or GTA:NETWORK the solved this good.

Maybe this is a JavaScript only problem (doubtful it is, maybe its just the ability to write shit-code in JS 😋). I develop in C# on both clientside and serverside and I can restart both the game and server multiple times (probably restarted the server in a single game session 50+ times on an occasion) and have neither crash. It sounds like you are making code changes that cause the crashes, so the ability to:  "package reload and restart" I doubt will help you here. Although I don't disagree that any feature is nice, I just don't think it's necessary or the solution to your problem, you may be better off asking a different question to solve this

Thanks, I write JS full time though.  I'm done here lol.

lol i don't doubt ur JS skills, maybe lack on knowledge of the api causes you to use functions incorrectly, resulting in ur crashes, good luck men
