love.filesystem.include and love.filesystem.require for 0.6

[Deco]

Howdy.

I've searched everywhere I could think of. However, I could not find an answer to my questions.

Is there a way to include files and require modules in 0.6?
love.filesystem.include and love.filesystem.require no longer exist, and the global include and require functions never existed.

Help, please!

Use the standard Lua require, e.g:

Code: Select all

-- foo.lua
require("foo")

[Deco]

Ah, thank you. I had forgotten to remove the '.lua' suffix, and didn't bother reading the error message properly.

Now.. er, how about 'include'? Just use require, perhaps?

I tried dofile, but it keeps saying the file does not exist (both with and without the extension).

[Deco]

Never mind, require works just fine!

Thank you!

Include behavior can be replicated with:

Code: Select all

love.filesystem.load(<file>)()

[Geti]

for the record, is there a reason dofile is gimped?

[Robin]

for the record, is there a reason dofile is gimped?

I guess because it is not used that often?

[bartbes]

Because it just doesn't use love.filesystem, and it doesn't have an easy interface like require has.
