Hi Aditya, The problem is not that the file was not loaded, but that in Lua, loading a file only loads it and does not execute it; Lua is a "dynamic" language, by which I mean that definitions are created through execution. Attached is a simple example, note that there is no proper error checking - you probably want to check the results rather than pattern matching against constants.

Hi all, I'm having some issues calling Lua functions from Haskell. I have the following in "Haskell2Lua.lua": function hello () return "hello world" end
And my Haskell file "Haskell2Lua.hs" looks like this: import qualified Scripting.Lua as Lua
main = do
l<- Lua.newstate
Lua.openlibs l
succ<- Lua.loadfile l "/Haskell2Lua.lua"
print succ
Lua.callproc l "hello" ""
Lua.close l
When I compile and run this file I get: 0 Haskell2Lua: user error (attempt to call a nil value)
I have tried some variations on calling the function including: Lua.callproc l "hello" Lua.callfunc l "hello" Lua.callfunc l "hello" ""
I know the Lua bridge is working because the following works:
Lua.callproc l "print" "Hello from Lua"
Any help is appreciated! -deech
