Migrating 0.8 to 0.9: usage of Channel instead of Thread:set

[mickro]

Hi there !

I'm new with Löve and Lua. I would like to upgrade a 0.8 to 0.91 project I didn't wrote to learn more about.

After few upgrade in old code I'm not good enough to continue conversion. I would like to understand how to.

That is the part of 0.8 code:

Code: Select all

self.stringlist = table.concat(self.toload, ";")
self.thread:set("musiclist", self.stringlist)

which I tried to convert to 0.9

Code: Select all

self.stringlist = table.concat(self.toload, ";")
channel = love.thread.getChannel("musiclist")
channel.push(self.stringlist)

and that is the error message:

bad argument #1 to 'push' (Channel expected, got string)

According to Channel:push

The value of the message can be a boolean, string, number, LÖVE userdata, or a simple flat table. Foreign userdata (Lua's files, LuaSocket, ENet, ...), functions, and tables inside tables are not supported.

Means 'push' don't really expected Channel but boolean, string...

I'm quite lost. Maybe I don't really understand what I'm doing.

Any help around ?

You're using a dot instead of a colon, that's the problem.

It's channel:push instead of channel.push

Edit: Seems like I was too late

thanks guys!

EDIT: syntax is correct but the behavior does not work. Looks my conversion about thread:set is not correct.

Does someone know can explain thread in Löve 0.8 or Channel in Löve 0.9 ?

EDIT 2:
finally that topic explain enough how that works and problem is solved
