dlopen Error

[JanWerder]

After compiling my solution successfully and deploying it onto my local python simple server, I get this error.

@JanWerder It looks like it thinks you're running a fused game which definitely won't work. I'm going to need more information here about your game and possibly the source code.

[JanWerder]

What do you mean by "fused" exactly?

[TannerRogalsky]

I mean, dlopen should never be invoked in normal usage. I think that your game is either packaged incorrectly or trying to dynamically load a compiled library (a .dll or .so).

A fused game is where the executable and the game assets are merged together before release: https://love2d.org/wiki/Game_Distribution#Creating_a_Windows_Executable That method of packaging a game does require dlopen but shouldn't be used for building for web.

[JanWerder]

Okay, i looked through the project files but couldn't find anything along these terms. Can you provide me an email adress so I can send you the code?

[TannerRogalsky]

This was caused by a discrepancy in case-sensitivity between platforms. require seems to work regardless of case in a native environment but not in a browser environment. Will look into if this discrepancy can be resolved.

[TannerRogalsky]

Possibly because we use Lua 5.1 in Love.js.

[Bobbyjoness]

require is case sensitive on all platforms and in .zips. The only place it is not is on Windows when unzipped.

[TannerRogalsky]

@Bobbyjoness I'm not sure where you're getting that information but it seems not to be true. require is not case sensitive on OSX, either.

[Bobbyjoness]

I assumed Mac was case sensitive since its Unix but actually it does both. The default is case insensitive. But zip files are still case sensitive on every platform. Which is basically me trying to say requiring being case sensitive in web is not an issue but a feature. IMO

[TannerRogalsky]

The error message for requiring a module that doesn't exist should be more clear now.
