During the Lua dissector development I often need to reload the Lua code but the Lua console will be closed and I cannot see the debug messages for the first pass packets dissecting. Is there a way to keep the Lua console open when reloading Lua dissectors?

2022-12-11 06:14:11 +0000 marked best answer What's the "frame.packet_id" field?

I searched and some says frame.packet_id is "a unique identifier that is assigned to each network packet". I tried to get it in my Lua dissector but the field always returned nil. The earlier Field.new() did not report error so I suppose frame.packet_id is a valid field name.

2022-12-10 07:49:33 +0000 marked best answer How to maintain a packetfile specific var?

Based on my testing (on macOS), Wireshark loads each Lua dissector for only once so the module's private (local) global vars are shared between packet files. Is there a way to distinguish between packetfiles so I can define packetfile specific vars?
