lua arg inconsistency #190

Open Arnaz87 opened 5 years ago

Arnaz87 commented 5 years ago

When torchbear is run as torchbear lua_script some_arg (and also with a shebang), the lua global arg is set to {"lua_script", "some_arg"} but when it's just the command torchbear, arg is set to nil. It should be set to an empty table.

Example illustrating the issue:

init.lua

print("arg:", arg)
print("arg length:", #arg)

Executing torchbear

$ torchbear
arg:    nil
2019-01-26 20:58:44 ERROR:      init.lua:2: attempt to get length of a nil value (global 'arg')

Executing torchbear init.lua (interpreter mode)
