Lua 5.2 compatibility (removal of setfenv and getfenv)? #18

Are there any plans for making telescope compatible with Lua 5.2 which removes setfenv and getfenv?

The master branch currently supports 5.2 through David Manura's compat_env, but it hasn't been pushed to Luarocks yet.

I'm also experimenting with a version with that makes much better use of environments and doesn't use an emulated getfenv/setfenv on 5.2, but I don't have anything to push or announce yet.

Ah! I was using master then tried Luarocks (along with some other tinkering) and wondered where I went wrong. Now it all makes sense. Thanks you. I'll stick with master.

Neovim depends on the LuaJIT 2.1, the latter supports Lua 5.2 features only partially. See for more info: https://blast.hk/moonloader/luajit/changes.html
