Require of different mod with Lua snippet (Lua API global Variable Viewer (gvv))

[JasonLandbridge]

Hi there,

First of all, huge thank you for all the work you have been doing for typed-factorio!

I'm currently developing a mod which I would like to debug by using: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/gvv

The mod requires the use of the following lua snippet:

    if script.active_mods["gvv"] then
        require("__gvv__.gvv")()
    end

I have been struggeling but so far I have managed to get it working by doing the following:

//debug.lua
local debug = {}

function debug:setup_gvv()
    if script.active_mods["gvv"] then
        require("__gvv__.gvv")()
    end
end

return debug

// control.ts
setup_gvv();

This works and I am able to use GVV succesfully. However I keep receiving the following error in the console of my IDE

error TSTL: Could not resolve lua source files for require path '__gvv__.gvv' in file debug.lua.

Am I importing it wrong or is there a different way to translate the Lua snippet to Typescript?

Very much thank you in advance!

This is an issue with TypescriptToLua, you can find more details here (and maybe give it an upvote): https://github.com/TypeScriptToLua/TypeScriptToLua/issues/1152

For a workaround, either extract "__gvv__.gvv" to a local variable before passing it to require, or change it to "@NoResolution:__gvv__.gvv"

It worked, thank you so much!
