Latest commit(s) causes crash at server start

The latest commit (I think) breaks the pack. Relevant logs:

I have confirmed that it is only the latest commit, fb4fef7, that causes this issue, introduced by #530 ; checking out to the previous commit, everything appears to work.

[auouymous]

Recipe has a table of tables of strings.

type = "shapeless",
recipe = {
    {'basic_materials:padlock'},
    {'technic:gold_chest'},
}

It should only have a table of strings.

type = "shapeless",
recipe = {'basic_materials:padlock', 'technic:gold_chest'}

After apply this fix, server start ok but if i try to put a gold locked chest the server crash :

@d-stephane Are you sure it is because of that commit, this looks unrelated: the responsible part was last touched 3 years ago: https://github.com/minetest-mods/technic/blame/fb4fef783b605dcdc73554019ef46d8354614ad4/technic_chests/register.lua#L89

[d-stephane]

No, I'm not 100% sure. I will test with version 5.2 of the server

[d-stephane]

WIth minetest 5.2 and with just the mods basic_materials - pipeworks - technic After put a gold chest the server crash :

This version of technic works with which version of minetest for you?

[VanessaE]

@auouymous's remark about the recipe format is correct, The latest commit (as of this remark) broke it.; @d-stephane you're barking up the wrong tree.

[auouymous]

@d-stephane Both of your logs show 5.2 as version, and the second log has incorrect line numbers (local changes or old version). If you didn't make changes, actually have the latest version and use git to download technic, try git checkout 4a9ad94 to remove the broken commit.

which version of minetest do you use?

[auouymous]

Your problem has nothing to do with this issue. By changing to 4a9ad94, you removed the faulty code this issue is about and that @BuckarooBanzay's patch fixes.

You should open a new issue and post the entire log there. But read the entire log first, it might reveal a missing dependency, such as no mesecons.

[d-stephane]

I did not have the latest version of pipeworks. After updating there is no more problem. Without mesecon mode it's ok too

[top4ek]

Got exacly same trace as @katp32. Server version 5.2.0. Rolling back to 4a9ad94 "fixes" server boot.

[dokutan]

Since i could not find a pull request to fix this bug, i made one. I have confirmed that the fix works with 5.2.0 and 5.3.0 versions of minetest.
