Arguments: project
on-restart is a property of an IDE project. Its value is the name of the function that is called internally to start up a standalone application that has been generated from the project. Normally the value is do-default-restart, though it may be changed to facilitate the debugging of a standalone application that is not successfully starting up and reaching a point where it could be debugged by pressing the BREAK key to enter the debugger in the console window.
In this case, you could debug the standalone application in the following way:
This simply shows the console window Lisp listener, in which you can
evaluate expressions to set up an initial environment for
debugging. Then evaluate (do-default-restart) in
the console to run the project code in the customized environment.
Alternately, you could change the on-restart property to the name of some other function that programmatically customizes the environment and then calls do-default-restart. Such a function should take a single keyword argument called console-state, which it should then pass on to do-default-restart when it calls it.
Note that the way to customize the way a standalone application for a project really starts up is to use the project's on-initialization property. on-restart, in contrast, is intended only for debugging the standalone application.
You can inspect the current project by invoking the View | Project Manager command and then clicking on the Inspect Project button in the Project Manager's toolbar. The "Events" tab of the inspector will then show the on-initialization and on-restart properties of the current project.
