"Trying to call global require" when enabling name space

[pos 22]

Hi

 

I am going to build a syslog sender service. But I get stuck very early  I try to enable a name space with the following in a virtual device:

local socket = require("socket") 

 

But the debug output tell me all the time that "Attempt call global require (a nil value)"

 

What do I miss? I am not yet that used to lua...

 

Many thanks in advance

It seems to work with a little different socket handling. And it only works in a virtual device, and not in a scene...

Lets say that you create a simple test virtual device named "syslog" and add the following basic code to its "main" loop:

 

--snip--
function sendSyslog(msg)
    socket = Net.FUdpSocket();
    socket:write('msg', "10.10.10.10", 514);
end
--snip--

 

If you call this directly from the main loop in the virtual device and send a syslog message with:
sendSyslog (aaaa)
it works perfect. 

 

But how do I call the "sendSyslog" function in this virtual device from a scene? I want to be able to send syslog from all scenes... Alternatives?

 

Thanks
