[solved] HardonCollider module not found

[OnACoffeeBreak]

I am following the HardonCollider tutorial. I cloned the module from GitHub

Code: Select all

git clone git://github.com/vrld/HardonCollider.git

and organized the file/directory structure per the tutorial.

Code: Select all

HC = require 'hardoncollider'

Fails with

[string "HC = require 'hardoncollider'..."]:1: module 'hardoncollider' not found:

I am guessing it's because there's no hardoncollider.lua file and hardoncollider/init.lua is not being loaded. I tried following advice given here, but it didn't help: http://kiki.to/blog/2014/04/12/rule-5-b ... l-packages

Halp, please?

Module is named with capital casing, and you used all lowercase letters. Of course the two don't match.

Tried to match the case of the module folder in the require string. No joy.

Tried making the module folder name all lower case chars and matching require string. No joy.

If I match the case it works for me. It does give another error though.

@bartbes. The error I'm actually getting is "main.lua:42: attempt to call method 'addCircle' (a nil value)". I'm thinking it's because HC is nil.

I renamed the directory to all lower-case "hardoncollider". When I type

Code: Select all

HC = require 'hardoncollider'

into ZeroBrane's console, I get this:

Code: Select all

HC = require 'hardoncollider'
[string "HC = require 'hardoncollider'"]:1: module 'hardoncollider' not found:
	no field package.preload['hardoncollider']
	no file 'lualibs/hardoncollider.lua'
	no file 'lualibs/hardoncollider/hardoncollider.lua'
	no file 'lualibs/hardoncollider/init.lua'
	no file 'lualibs/hardoncollider/hardoncollider/hardoncollider.lua'
	no file 'lualibs/hardoncollider/hardoncollider/init.lua'
	no file '.\hardoncollider.lua'
	no file 'C:\Users\hector\Downloads\ZeroBraneStudio\lua\hardoncollider.lua'
	no file 'C:\Users\hector\Downloads\ZeroBraneStudio\lua\hardoncollider\init.lua'

	no file 'bin/clibs/hardoncollider.dll'
	no file '.\hardoncollider.dll'
	no file 'C:\Users\hector\Downloads\ZeroBraneStudio\hardoncollider.dll'

It appears that Lua is not even looking inside the hardoncollider directory.

You get the other error because addCircle doesn't in fact exist. If you look at metatable listing, you'll only find "circle".

[OnACoffeeBreak]

You are correct. I figured out how to watch an expression in ZeroBrane and HC is definitely not nil.

Looks like the tutorial is out of date with the code.

Thanks for your help!
