[Q] Catch lua error about rlua HOT 10 CLOSED

Additionally how do I set a glob val that is == nil / empty?

from rlua.

Never mind

from rlua.

@trsh you're gonna post a good question, figure it out, then leave us hanging?

what'd you find??

from rlua.

@mitchtbaum for the 1st question:

      let eval_res = lua.eval::<String>(code, None);
      match eval_res {
        Ok(val) => {
          
        }
        Err(e) => {
          
        }
      }

e will contain Lua errors.

For the nil question, my answer is just not to set that Global. And it will be nil, as all undefined variables in Lua.

@trsh these say to use xpcall. is that another approach?

• Get true stack trace of an error in lua pcall
• stacktrace-patch.lua

what about try-catch error handling exception pattern? are these ever used together?

I posted an issue in the framework I'm working on. if you're also interested in actix-web and lua, then I'd love your input.

@mitchtbaum sorry, I can tell nothing more. My approach is working for my project, so i dont investigate further. And I use actix-web.

@mitchtbaum one thing that I wan't, and could not figure out, is how to get print (printed stuff in lua), to Rust back. If you know that, let me know. For now I throw exceptions to debug stuff.

from rlua.

I'm not sure I understand. what is the goal? to pipe stdout back to Rust? I thought you already showed you can get the error object. Does throwing an exception give different debug output?

from rlua.

I think if it happens anywhere in my code base, it'd be here

https://github.com/foundpatterns/torchbear/blob/aadee3f603c9a1d1dd2ded5d3f579300a704561a/src/lua_bindings/log.rs#L6-L15

that receives strings from Lua to use in Rust code, I think evidenced by its use of push and push_str()

we're not using it anymore, since we switched to using log.lua

from rlua.

Throwing an exception returns Error to Rust, that includes the error lines. Ok result return whatever you return with "return xx". So Print invisible.
