What is the reason for this error?

adem

main.lua:

local ui = require "ui"
require "./widgets/Editor"

local win = ui.Window("")
local Edit = ui.Editor(win, "", 0, 0)

win:show()
ui.run(win):wait()

Editor.lua:


local ui = require "ui"

Editor = Object(ui.Edit)

function Editor:constructor(parent, text, ...)
    local Edit = ui.Edit.constructor(self, parent, {}, ...)

    Edit.font = "Consolas"
    Edit.fontsize = 11*ui.dpi
    Edit.rtf = false
    Edit.border = false

    return Edit
end

i got runtime error: attempt to call nil value(field 'Editor')

Hi Adem,

That's because you created an Editor object in the global namespace, while you are trying to use it in the ui namespace. Just replace ui.Editor() in the first script with Editor(), and it should work.
