When you load a file with require, it caches the result so to avoid duplication of work on subsequent requires to the same file. The files loaded with require can be accessed via the global "package.loaded":
Code: Select all
print(package.loaded["myfile"]) -- prints nil
require("myfile")
print(package.loaded["myfile"]) -- prints something like table: 0x0026f0a8
So, if you really want to empty the cache and require a file again, you could set the corresponding entry in package.loaded to nil:
Code: Select all
package.loaded["myfile"] = nil -- clears the cache for "myfile"
require("myfile") -- because the cache was emptied, require loads the file again
However, I wouldn't necessarily recommend this approach, as messing with require cache seems dirty to me. Perhaps you could use something like
love.filesystem.load for this purpose instead, or make your file return a function that you can simply call to create an instance of whatever class or data the file represents? Depends on what your exact use case is, I reckon.
