→ Console Variables

Enables the capture of source file name information for UI regions created in Lua or XML.

Settings

0 (default)

Disables source file name capture for created UI regions.

1

Enables capture of source file names for created UI regions.

Details

• Source location information can be queried through the Region:GetSourceLocation() widget API.
• Line number information for created regions is always captured irrespective of this setting.
• Changing this console variable does not require a UI reload to take effect; any regions created after the variable is toggled will immediately respect the new state of the setting.
• Changing this console variable has no retroactive effects on already-created regions, which will continue to report whatever source location information was stored when the region was initially created.

Patches

• Patch 9.2.5 (2022-05-31): Added.
