I’m trying to learn how to write a driver, and I’m following the setup instructions.
I’m on Mac. I am not able to get VSCode to load the API release:
I would really appreciate some help If someone got better luck!
Setup
- install Lua (
brew install lua@5.3) - install luarocks (
brew install luarocks) - setup the
LUA_PATH
# in zshrc
eval $(luarocks --lua-dir=/opt/homebrew/opt/lua@5.3 path --append)
# Where the SmartThings API Release is located
LUA_SMART_THINGS_BASE_PATH=/Users/me/Dev/side_projects/SmartThingsEdgeDrivers/lua_libs-api_v5_48X/lua_libs-api_v5
export LUA_PATH="$LUA_SMART_THINGS_BASE_PATH/?.lua;$LUA_SMART_THINGS_BASE_PATH/?/init.lua;./?.lua;./?/init.lua;$LUA_PATH"
This looks like
/Users/me/Dev/side_projects/SmartThingsEdgeDrivers/lua_libs-api_v5_48X/lua_libs-api_v5/?.lua;/Users/me/Dev/side_projects/SmartThingsEdgeDrivers/lua_libs-api_v5_48X/lua_libs-api_v5/?/init.lua;./?.lua;./?/init.lua;/opt/homebrew/Cellar/luarocks/3.9.2/share/lua/5.3/?.lua;/opt/homebrew/share/lua/5.3/?.lua;/opt/homebrew/share/lua/5.3/?/init.lua;/opt/homebrew/lib/lua/5.3/?.lua;/opt/homebrew/lib/lua/5.3/?/init.lua;./?.lua;./?/init.lua;/Users/me/.luarocks/share/lua/5.3/?.lua;/Users/me/.luarocks/share/lua/5.3/?/init.lua
In VSCode, install the Lua Language Server plugin.
At this point I get the error message above. I also tried my change setting some path in my IDE settings:
// .vscode/settings.json
{
"Lua.runtime.path": [
"${env:LUA_PATH}",
"/Users/me/Dev/side_projects/SmartThingsEdgeDrivers/lua_libs-api_v5_48X/lua_libs-api_v5/?.lua",
"/Users/me/Dev/side_projects/SmartThingsEdgeDrivers/lua_libs-api_v5_48X/lua_libs-api_v5/?/init.lua",
"?/init.lua",
],
}
but this didn’t help.
This is what my repository looks like:
