attempt to index global 'os' (a nil value)

[147852369]

Code: Select all

lua warning: Error loading script C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\lua\extensions\my_new_extension.lua: ...les (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\lua\extensions\my_new_extension.lua:60: attempt to index global 'os' (a nil value)

I googled a lot but can't find a solution to resolve my problem.

My extension:

Code: Select all

-- just comments above config = { -- directories must exist! errorLogDestination = os.getenv("UserProfile") .. "\\Desktop\\vlc_dev\\VLC_ERRORLOG.txt", -- where to save error log -- HERE'S LINE NUMBER 60 moveDestination = os.getenv("UserProfile") .. "\\Desktop\\moveDestination", -- in which directory to move files moveLogDestination = os.getenv("UserProfile") .. "\\Desktop\\vlc_dev\\VLC_MOVELOG.txt", -- where to save the selected files for moving deleteLogDestination = os.getenv("UserProfile") .. "\\Desktop\\vlc_dev\\VLC_DELETELOG.txt", -- where to save the selectes files for deletion shellFileDestination = os.getenv("UserProfile") .. "\\Desktop\\vlc_dev\\VLC_MOVE.cmd" -- where to save batch file with commands and paths to move } -- other table .... function descriptor() return { title = "my new extension"; shortdesc = "my new extension"; description = "<h1>my new extension<h1>" .. "hello<br />" .. "hello2"; version = "1.1"; author = "my name"; capabilities = {"input-listener", "meta-listener"} } end function activate() main_gui() -- creates dialog, etc. vlc.msg.dbg("[] activated; collectgarbage(\"count\"): " .. (collectgarbage("count") * 1024)) end

If I commented the os.getenv() lines out, I get the same error in a other function, in which is "os.remove()" ...

Two days ago I didn't have this error. I don't know what I changed?!

Is someone here with an idea? Thanks.

Try to move your config variable into activate() function.

That looks bad, but it works. Thanks.
