I'm running on redis-cli 3.1.103 (git:4b89ea3a) and with the following Lua code:
local myTable = {}
myTable.a = 1337
local test = myTable.a
If I am to debug after all 3 lines (but before the program returns), print test returns 1337, however print myTable.a returns No such variable. No go with print myTable["a"] either. Is that a known limitation or an actual bug? My search turned up nothing. Thanks by the way for the debugger, really handy tool! :smile:

Neither and a little of both IMO :)
It is a limitation but it wasn't explicitly known until you had reported it. It isn't exactly a bug either, more like a feature request, but it still merits an issue. On top of that, I don't think that the limitation is actually of the debugger's print's - it does what it is intended for, meaning print the variable regardless its type.
The actual "limitation", which was knowingly made and documented, is of the debugger's eval and the fact that it doesn't share the context of the debugged script. It is worth noting that @pkulchenko's ZeroBrane plugin for Redis does a nice job of providing a remote console that sort of combines eval's and print's capabilities.

@mathieumg, here is the information about the plugin and the integration: https://redislabs.com/blog/zerobrane-studio-plugin-for-redis-lua-scripts. If you use the IDE as Itamar has suggested, you should see those values in the stack or access them in the Remote Console. They may also be accessed as tooltips or watches.

Thanks for the guidance and fast answer, at least I know I'm not misusing it. :smile:

Closing as a known limitation.
