Warning / Error after starting: CobaltEssentials/CobaltEssentialsLoader.lua:16: attempt to perform arithmetic on a nil value (local 'e')

[ger-pakon]

Hey,
after starting the server I got following Warning/Error

[23/1/2021 20:18:39] [WARN] CobaltEssentialsLoader.lua | ...urces/Server/CobaltEssentials/CobaltEssentialsLoader.lua:16: attempt to perform arithmetic on a nil value (local 'e')

I addition, it's not clear while files are needed to configure. The documentation https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GCXPbN8e0SEJgQ69AU4O7v0aqqITazWInc1wmO1eYuo/edit?usp=sharing does not fit to the 1.5.3 release. :-(

Cheers,
Pakon

Hey,

do you need additional information?

that errror might mean that you put it in the wrong folder?

oh actually.. are you on windows or linux?

[ger-pakon]

I'm on linux. It's located unter ~/Resources/Server/CobaltEssentials/.

Is linux not supported?

[20dka]

im afraid not at the moment as the codebase uses \\ which is the windows path separator
this doesnt look like a lua limitation so it could be fixed in the future

[ger-pakon]

Hey, I see the problem.

I never used lua... I may can (hot)fix it for myself. I just need to know the needed value of resources and pluginName.

Thank you

[20dka]

ive spent a few hours trying to get it working and i got those paths figured out but now im getting a luasocket error... will PR when done

[ger-pakon]

@20dka did you find anything?

[20dka]

Hey, no i couldn't get Cobalt working on Linux yet (well i could, but only with most of it stripped out which makes it pretty useless)

Also having this issue, running BeamMP Server within a Docker container hosted on Pterodactyl

[20dka]

in the meantime ive successfully ported CE to linux, but the linux BeamMP server itself has some lua issues that make it unusable as of now. I'll update this issue when a new server version fixing lua issues comes out and cobalt can be tested on it for realsies

Has something changed?

[20dka]

Yeah, sorry for not replying @BadModer @ger-pakon @Ae3NerdGod
The BeamMP server updated fixing most of their lua issues, and I have updated my 20dka/linux branch to work with it, albeit with some workarounds.
@PenguinNexus Someone has already made a Pterodactyl egg for it, you can ask for it on discord (beammp or cobalt servers) (basically just apt install luasocket)

[ger-pakon]

Hey @20dka,

thanks for replying. I just installed the lua-tools but i can't find your 20dka/linux branch in this repository. Do you have a URL for us?

Cheers,
Pakon
