canvas module

cos00kun

Hello. Canvas instances are defined in the following folder and they are running in this folder.
"C:\Program Files\Lua 5.4.2 Win64\LuaRT\LuaRT-Studio\examples\canvas"

However, whenever I try in another folder, they don't work on my computer. for example
"C:\Program Files\LuaExamples\canvas"

--Windows11 X64 platform--

Have you restarted your computer/disconnected your session after installation ?
It may be needed to set the LuaRT folder to the system PATH

cos00kun

ofcourse i have restarted also it did set luaRT/bin folder to the system PATH.
interesting. i will test again et home tonight

cos00kun

i think i found the error

cos00kun

...\LuaRT\bin\luart.exe
...\LuaRT\LuaRT-Studio\bin\luart.exe
These two files produce different results. My PATH definition is "...\LuaRT\bin\luart.exe", although both should have given correct results.🤔

ok i will make the path definition as bin folder in "LuaRT-Studio" then there will be no problem

cos00kun

Something is wrong but I still don't understand.🤔
".......\LuaRT\LuaRT-Studio\examples\canvas\hello.wlua"
When I open and run it from this folder with Notepad++, everything is normal, but when I copy this file to other places, it still does not work.

and even when I use "LuaRT Studio" instead of notepad++ I have the same problem. In summary, it cannot compile these sample files and newly written codes in any folder other than example.

Did you try to double click on the Lua script in the Windows explorer ?

cos00kun

Samir

sorry i don't think i fully understand

Samir

With LuaRT you can run scripts directly from the Windows explorer by double clicking on it, as if you want to open a Word file (by double clicking a .doc or .docx file). You should try to see if PATH and file association are correctly set

cos00kun

it is no longer needed. Works flawlessly on home computer. I think the problem is on the computer at work

Samir

Great !
Computers at work have often strong security rules that prevent some programs to run correctly.

cos00kun

I've been running tests on canvas, you've made really great progress, [Login to see the link] . Everything seems perfect, but there are many methods and properties, it will take time to examine everything, but so far it seems to be okay.

Samir

Thank you Coskun for the feedback 🙏🏻

cos00kun

I still have problems with the computer at work, while I do not have a problem with the computer at home. I've never had this kind of problem with LuART Studio before. this is so weird. LuaRT does not allow me to run files in any folder other than the example folder, but I have this problem only in the canvas module.
error messages;
error loading module 'canvas' from file '.\canvas.lua':
C stack overflow

Samir

cos00kun error loading module 'canvas' from file '.\canvas.lua':
C stack overflow

This is because you script is named as the LuaRT canvas module !
By doing this, LuaRT Studio don't stop to reload the canvas.lua module again and again !

Just rename your current script with another name and everything should work as expected.

That's because when requiring for a module, Lua search path always starts with the current folder.

Samir

Very strange, I wll investigate.
Do you have the same problem with the "audio" module ?

cos00kun

I don't get an error message on audio module in my work computer at work, but there is no sound, but this may be due to my computer at work, I'm not sure. I have no problems with my computer and laptop at home.

Samir

I really think your Computer at work has some security protection that prevent LuaRT Studio exeute LuaRT scripts correctly.

I have tried to run canvas examples from other places on my hard drive, on my Windows 11 computer and on another Windows 10 computer and I can't reproduce what you describe.

cos00kun

hmm.. i will try [Login to see the link] thanks

cos00kun

It was as you said. Problem solved. 🙂 However, it would be better if a program name "Canvas.lua" would not throw an error. it doesn't matter much because my lua programs and new modules can run at work without any problems.
