Hi,
Been following, using , and hacking on Luvit and Luvi for some time now. I
was a tad devastated when it broke into separate components, and took a
break for a bit. I am a huge fan of the project, not so much a fan of the
documentation. (As an aside, I am trying to pitch in on docs. I just
started moving over info from libuv to luv.readthedocs.org. Still a work in
progress as I learn the conversions to Lua).
A while back I had inquired about how to properly "require" an external Lua
based module. I had dug through the samples at the time and had found
*bundle.register*, which seemed to be the only way to get my modules loaded
(even though they are sitting in the the root app folder!?). I was told
*not* to use this method because it was going to change.
Well, it doesn't seem like anything has changed. I've tried every which
way, but cannot use "require" as it is currently. Even for the simplest use
cases. The *bundle.register* is the only working method.
Here is my trivial test example:
app/
main.lua
greeting.lua
*--app/main.lua*
*local env = require('env')*
*local uv = require('uv')*
*local greeting = require('greeting')*
*print('main')*
*greeting.greet()*
*--app/greeting.lua*
*local m = {}*
*function m.greeting()*
* print('hello again!')*
*end*
*return m*
--> OUTPUTS:
Users-MacBook-Pro:testy coronium$ luvi app
[string "bundle:main.lua"]:6: module 'greeting' not found:
no field package.preload['greeting']
no file '/usr/local/share/lua/5.1/greeting.lua'
no file '/usr/local/share/lua/5.1/greeting/init.lua'
no file '/usr/local/Cellar/lua51/5.1.5_2/libexec/share/lua/5.1/greeting.lua'
*no file './greeting$' <-- Seems like this should pick up the module?*
no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/greeting.so'
no file './greeting.so'
no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/loadall.so'
If I throw in the *bundle.register('greeting', 'greeting.lua')* it will
work fine.
--> OUTPUTS:
Users-MacBook-Pro:testy coronium$ luvi app
main
hello again!
So what is the proper method? I've tried a lot of different angles, and
appear to have no other options to try.
Thanks in advance.
