Failed to install fennel via luarocks #307

Closed edubart closed 4 years ago

edubart commented 4 years ago

When running:

luarocks install --local fennel

I get this error:

Installing https://luarocks.org/fennel-0.4.2-1.src.rock

fennel 0.4.2-1 depends on lua >= 5.1 (5.3-1 provided by VM)

Error: Failed copying fennel

My setup is updated ArchLinux, luarocks 3.3.1 and lua 5.3.5. Usually am able to install and run other luarocks packages fine. I tried installing an old rockspecs and fennel-0.4.1-2.rockspec install fine, while more recent one fails.

Interesting; I wonder if this is a bug in luarocks. The same dependency is declared in 0.4.1 which works fine.

I have no idea how to fix this unfortunately; I suggest an alternate installation method for now.

It looks like the issue is that the archive at https://fennel-lang.org/downloads/Fennel-0.4.2.tgz got uploaded without the built fennel cli and other built assets. The rock uses that as the source, so fixing that asset should also fix the rock.

Looks like this was just a misleading error message from Luarocks; the Lua version had nothing to do with the failure, and @jaawerth was right about the root cause. The tarball has been updated and 0.4.2-2 has been released which will fetch the right version. Thanks for catching this!

I confirm that it is working now, great!
