Is there any update on this Bug? I have been writing games in lua love2d with no issues. Then an update yesterday completely broke everything. All tables defined in other files are no longer seen like said above. I just see tons and tons of undefined Global. I tried the suggested manual command above with the exact same results. it is no longer finding required modules and also no longer understanding it's a love2d project either. Again I have been having no issues before and update. I have written several games in lua recently. But this Bug is really messing me up.

What command are you using?

[JeremiahCheatham]

I'm using lvim that contains lua-language-server. After an update it stopped working so i did a bunch of searching and reinstalled lvim and lua-language-server with no success.

lua-language-server no longer understands its a love file so i get all the undefined global love. I also get undefined global for anything defined in other files. lua-language-server can no longer find or load the required modules. As you listed above how to invoke it launched lua-language-server from inside the source folder and sure enough same errors he has above it can not find the required modules. I tried rewriting the required lines several different ways to see if maybe i was using some outdated syntax but nothing.

@JeremiahCheatham Your actual problem has nothing to do with this issue. Please open a new issue and provide your log file. It's already 2:00 a.m at my side, I'll check your problem after I wakeup.

[JeremiahCheatham]

Ok but if you know my actual problem can you please tell me what my actual problem is so i can know it too?

@KayleMaster has your issue been resolved?

[JeremiahCheatham]

No it has not. It appears to be the exact same issue but has been aggressively ignored and spilled into new ticket and then given a similar treatment. So for anyone else with the same issue good luck.
