In Lua 5.3 I see the following
--- Module file begin
xml = require("LuaXml")
local xml = xml
local M = {}
package.loaded[...] = M
_ENV = M
-- Module code here
xml.load("File.xml")
--- Module file end
Here LuaXml.lua is something like
local xml = require("LuaXml_lib") --- dll file
--- Module code
return xml
The following does not work and gives error that trying to index a nil value on the load statement pointing to the C module
--- Module file begin
local M = {}
package.loaded[...] = M
_ENV = M
xml = require("LuaXml")
-- Module code here
xml.load("File.xml") -- ERROR attempt to index nil value in LuaXml_lib.load
--- Module file end
The following gives the error that specified procedure not found
--- Module file begin
local M = {}
package.loaded[...] = M
_ENV = M
xml = require("LuaXml_lib")
-- Module code here
xml.load("File.xml") -- ERROR attempt to index nil value in LuaXml_lib.load
--- Module file end
Please can anyone help me understand why the errors are happening and what would be the right way to load another module inside a module successfully.
Thanks,
Milind
