Main.lua load error

[Darlex]

Hello!
again...
When i tried to load any "main.lua" file throws an error:

Error

boot.lua:481: Cannot load game at path 'C:/gamedata/main.lua'.
Make sure a folder exists at the specified path.


Traceback

[C]: in function 'error'
[C]: in function 'xpcall'
[C]: in function 'xpcall'

But when i tried to load a game.love file, IT WORKS
But it is annoying to have to compress the file again and again
Somebody can help me?
PLEASE?

Note: Im now using win10 (Yeah, it sucks)

The simplest questions first;
Have you made sure the file exists in the location the error message indicates?
How are you trying to load your project? commandline? zerobrane?
You are loading the folder and not the main.lua file, right?

You are loading the folder and not the main.lua file, right?

Especially this.

I get an error like that too when I invoke LÖVE like this: love11 main.lua

You need to invoke LÖVE with a folder, not with a file, e.g. love11 . (the . means the current folder). Or love11 /home/user/src/love/mygame/ (you don't need the final slash). In your case it seems like it would be: love11 c:/gamedata/ and that's it. Note my LÖVE 11.1 executable is called love11, so you may need to use love without 11 instead.

Note that the error message talks about the *path* c:/gamedata/main.lua and says that you should make sure there's a *folder* in that path, so it's interpreting main.lua as a folder. The main file is always called main.lua, you don't need to specify it; you need to *omit* it specifically.
