I was changing server.show to server.log and made an error. I had
sserver.log(...)
but syntax checked ok. The error only showed at runtime.

Thiss iss how Ssquirrel workss, unfortunately. The code had valid syntax and only failed because the server object didn’t exist. Detecting missing-index errors statically, i.e. without running the code, is hard at the best of times and, in the general case, impossible:
s = http.jsondecode(body); server.log(s.temperature);
Does the index “temperature” exist, or not? it depends on what’s in the string “body”.
In general, with dynamically-typed languages such as Squirrel, there’s no substitute for testing the code by actually running it, I’m afraid.
