I'm starting out to learn Lua script usage in Java via LuaJava; my IDE is Eclipse.
But when I execute this simple Hello World snippet there is no output in the Eclipse console.
Took the code snippet from here
package com.cpg.lua;
import org.keplerproject.luajava.LuaState;
import org.keplerproject.luajava.LuaStateFactory;
public class Hello
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
LuaState luaState;
luaState = LuaStateFactory.newLuaState();
luaState.openLibs();
luaState.LdoFile("hello.lua");
luaState.close();
}
}
hello.lua
function hello()
print("Hello World from Lua!")
end
hello()
But the script beneath works perfectly well.
hello2.lua
print("Hello World from Lua!")
Anyone know why the script with the function definition inside does nothing when called from Java but when executed through the console works perfectly?
I haven't tried or seen a function called like that. But you can call the hello()
function from the Java like this:
LuaState l = LuaStateFactory.newLuaState();
l.doFile("main.lua");
l.getGlobal("hello");
l.call(0, 0);
