Integrating LuaRT with existing VSCode/LuaDebugger workbench

ibisum

Hi,

I'm a new to LuaRT, but old with Lua, and thus I have an existing VSCode/LuaDebugger configuration that I've used for quite some time for my Lua projects.

Is there an easy way to just add LuaRT's modules to my existing Lua configuration, so I can continue using my existing stuff, and add LuaRT modules to some new projects? Something like:

$ eval luarocks path

That can easily be added to an existing setup? (The reason is of course, I already have tons of luarocks, and I just want to treat LuaRT as if it were another set of modules .. is that even possible? I'll RTFM, promise ...)

Hi ibisum,

It's good idea to add a path option to LuaRT

For now, you should update the LUA_CPATH evnironment variable or package.cpath in your setup to use require() to load LuaRT binary modules with the following string : "!\\?\\?.dll;"

Samir Hmm, okay I'll see how that works .. but better would be for the RT to give an exportable description of its environment, but yeah .. I get the point, thanks for the hint.
