This page helps solve common issues when creating mods. '''For issues ''using'' mods, see [[Modding:Player Guide/Troubleshooting]].'''
This page helps you test your mods and solve common issues. '''For issues ''using'' mods, see [[Modding:Player Guide/Troubleshooting]].'''
==Test the mod==
===Basic testing===
Testing is pretty straightforward for most mods:
# Click ''Build > Rebuild Solution'' (Visual Studio) or ''Build > Rebuild All'' (MonoDevelop).
# Make sure there are no build errors and the mod gets copied to your <tt>Mods</tt> folder.
# Try the mod in-game.
# Make sure there are no errors or warnings for your mod in the SMAPI console.
In general, if a mod works on one platform it'll work fine on the others.
===Testing in multiplayer===
You can test mods in multiplayer on the same computer, by launching two instances of the game:
# Prepare player one:
## Launch SMAPI like usual.
## From the title screen: click ''co-op'', then ''host''.
## Start a new save slot (unless you've already created one). Make sure to set 'starting cabins' to at least one (you'll need one cabin per extra player).
# Prepare player two:
## Launch SMAPI again. (This will automatically create a separate log file.)
## From the title screen: click ''co-op'', then ''join LAN game''.
## Leave the 'Enter IP...' box empty and click OK.
===Testing on all platforms===
For complex mods, you may need to test your mod on all platforms. The game is mostly the same on Linux/Mac, so you only need to test your mod twice: once on Windows, and again on Linux or Mac. You can do that by testing one version on your computer, and the other in a virtual machine.
* '''If your main computer is Windows:'''
*# Install [https://www.virtualbox.org/ VirtualBox].
*# Create a [https://zorinos.com/ ZorinOS Core] VM in VirtualBox.
