Hi Hisham, I'm having trouble developing the next version of my Lua packages while the previous (stable) release are installed as rocks... and where both stable (installed) and development (in working dir) need access to the rocks tree for the packages they in turn depend on.
Let's say I run bin/specl from my dev tree, which contains: require 'specl.util' I want that link to pick up the dev version of that file from lib/specl/util.lua (in the dev tree), but when I run: LUA_PATH='./lib/?.lua;;' bin/specl ...the require function actually loads the (incompatible) stable version from the rocks tree, in /usr/local/share/lua/5.2/specl/util.lua, because luarocks has pushed my LUA_PATH setting too far down the package.path IMHO: $ LUA_PATH='./lib/?.lua;;' lua5.2 /usr/local/bin/luarocks path export LUA_PATH='/usr/local/share/lua/5.2/?.lua;\ <<< loads from here /usr/local/share/lua/5.2/?/init.lua;\ /Users/gary/.luarocks/share/lua/5.2/?.lua;\ /Users/gary/.luarocks/share/lua/5.2/?/init.lua;\ /usr/local/luarocks/HEAD/share/lua/5.2//?.lua;\ /usr/local/luarocks/2.0.12/share/lua/5.2//?/init.lua;\ ./lib/?.lua;\ <<< instead of here /usr/local/lib/lua/5.2/?.lua; /usr/local/lib/lua/5.2/?/init.lua; ./?.lua;' (indented for clarity) I think luarocks should add it's additional directories just before the system path, marked by ;; in my LUA_PATH setting. Have I installed luarocks incorrectly? Or is there another way to add my working tree paths to the *front* of LUA_PATH? If not, then it seems like `luarocks path` is broken :( LUA_CPATH suffers the same issue. Cheers, -- Gary V.
