    Hi all,

    I'm having trouble getting any user created libraries to run correctly. Everything is fine if I run in the one common functions file but if I split out and try to include a module it doesn't work. Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?

    Simple example that does not work -

    In user libraries I have a file caller user.testing -
    Code:
    local testing = {}

function testing.foo()
    log('Hello World!')
end

return testing
    In the resident files I have a file that does -
    Code:
    script.enable('user.testing')
local testing = require 'user.testing'
log('running resident test')
testing.foo()
    The only log output I get is
    No errors are showing in the log but no log output from the testing.foo function is printed either. Any ideas??
    Cheers,
    Chris

    Hi Chris,

    Perhaps the SHAC is doing things slightly different to the Lua norm when including other scripts.

    My resident script simply looks like this:
    Code:
    require("user.dateparse")

  local result = dateparse.parse(datestring)
    My user script looks much like yours:
    Code:
    dateparse = {}

function dateparse.parse(s)
  ..
end

return dateparse
[CODE]

    Thanks! That helped a lot. After using your code for testing it seems the problem was actually more to do with having to disable the script then re-enable it after editing. If that isn't done it doesn't seem to reload any changes.
