Library not loading into Defold game engine #22

Closed ghost closed 4 years ago

ghost commented 4 years ago

Hi, have the developers tried to add this library to a Defold project as a dependency? I'm able to attach other github releases on Defold, however for some reason this library doesn't load in.

I'm not familiar with Defold. How does it load Lua from GitHub? When trying to load this repository, do you get any error messages?

ghost commented 4 years ago

No errors messages, which is pretty strange. Here's a 3-second overview of how it loads Lua from GitHub: https://defold.com/manuals/libraries/

Like I've said, I use the same process for other Lua modules. In the meantime, I'll check if there's another way to import.

I cut a new 2.0.0 release here (https://github.com/kyleconroy/lua-state-machine/releases/tag/2.0.0). Maybe that will work?

ghost commented 4 years ago

Nope, didn't work. Maybe Defold requires some special files to be a part of the library or something. I looked into: https://github.com/britzl/cucumber-defold/releases (which is just a random lua module) and I see that it holds a game.project file, which is specific to Defold.

That's all right though, I can still download your source code manually and use it that way. When you set a github dependency in Defold, it actually downloads the source code from GitHub whenever you build and run your program, instead of holding the source code in the project folder itself.

Is it all right with you if I just download the file as a .lua and use it that way? It would then be distributed in the source files when I release the project.

Yep! lua-state-machine is MIT licensed which means you can basically do whatever you want with the code. Good luck!
