test install

[sjnam]

1. after install lua-capnproto by luarocks, the following test does not work.

$ capnp compile -olua proto/example.capnp

2. File main.lua of example directory id should be interger not string.

About 1, can you provide the command you run and the error message?

About 2, id should be a string. Why do you think it should be an integer?

[sjnam]

1. error message

luajit: /usr/local/share/lua/5.1/capnp/compile.lua:1184: imported file "enums.capnp" is missing, compile it together withother Cap'n Proto files
stack traceback:

lua: plugin failed: exit code 1

2. you defined id by UInt32.

id @0 :UInt32;

and if id is string then I got result

{"people":[{"id":0,"employment":{"school":"MIT"},"email":"alice@example.com","name":"Alice","phones":[{"number":"555-1212","type":"MOBILE"}]},{"id":0,"employment":{"unemployed":"Void"},"email":"bob@example.com","name":"Bob","phones":[{"number":"555-4567","type":"HOME"},{"number":"555-7654","type":"WORK"}]}]}

the json id is 0

1. Yes, the document is old. You do need to compile all the schema files together like this:

   $ capnp compile -olua proto/example.capnp proto/enums.capnp proto/lua.capnp proto/struct.capnp

2. That id should be a number. I though about something else.

Nice catch, thanks.

Merged, thanks!
