attempt to call global 'require'

[Klobo]

Hi all, quick stupid question.

I've been programming happily and running the program normally and then suddenly I got this error (wich never happened before)

Code: Select all

Error: main.lua:2: attempt to call global 'require' (a string value)
stack traceback:
	main.lua:2: in main chunk
	[C]: in function 'require'
	[string "boot.lua"]:374: in function <[string "boot.lua"]:244>
	[C]: in function 'xpcall'

I checked for spelling errors but nothing.. I've never touched the line 2 of my code since its first implementation in my code

Here are my first lines of the code from main.lua

Code: Select all

require "airplane"
require "hump/vector"
require "load"
require "keyboard"
require "mouse"
require "camera"
require "mapmanager"
mdata = require("testmap")
airm = require("airmanager")
interface = require ("interface")
require "util"

function love.load()
	load.settings()
--..bla bla code continues

Strangely enough I get no error for the first line, despite the fact the syntax is the same and it always worked well

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

The issue most probably lies in the file you require in the first line, airplane.lua (I guess) ; can you give us a .love file or at least the code in that file?

[s-ol]

in one of all those files you assign a value to "require", basically deleting the original function. There is something like

Code: Select all

require = "test"

somewhere.

Solved. It was a loop of require between 3 files..
