Invalid handler with info.lua

[gv1222]

I have been experimenting with the info.lua file and am now stuck at one point where it says "Invalid handler for command /ping, command will not be registered." I have added the handler for the command as "PingPlayer" and written the handler out in ping.lua. Below I added my info.lua and ping.lua files. (Note: all other commands + Handlers work). What's the issue? Thanks.

INFO.LUA g_PluginInfo = {   Name = "Basics",   Version = "0.1",   Description = "Adds some basic commands",     Commands =   {     ["/heal"] =     {       Permission =  "basic.heal",       HelpString =  " Heal player to full health.",       Handler =  HealPlayer,     },       ["/ping"] =     {       Permission =  "basic.ping",       HelpString =  " Get a players ping to the server.",       Handler =  PingPlayer,     },       ["/feed"] =     {       Permission =  "basic.feed",       HelpString =  " Feed player to full hunger.",       Handler =  FeedPlayer,     },   }, }

ping.lua function PingPlayer(Split, Player)   if Split[2] == nil then     Player:SendMessageSuccess(Player:GetClientHandle():GetPing())   elseif(Player:HasPermission("basics.ping.other")) then     local Ping = function(OtherPlayer)       if (OtherPlayer:GetName() == Split[2]) then         Player:SendMessageSuccess("Player " .. Split[2].."ping: " .. OtherPlayer:GetClientHandle():GetPing())         return true       end     end     if (not(cRoot:Get():FindAndDoWithPlayer(Split[2], Ping))) then       Player:SendMessageFailure("Player not found.")     end   end   return true end

This should work. Are you on Linux? You need to observe filename capitalization, the server expects the Info.lua file to have uppercase I and all the other letters lowercase. This is important, because the Info.lua file needs to be loaded as the last file in the plugin.

Capitalizing the I in Info.lua fixed it, thanks. And for the record this was on windows not linux

Hmm, we may have a problem here. We expect the filesystem to preserver letter case, which just happens to be true for WinXP+, but is not always guaranteed. What if there was a filesystem that reported all the filenames in uppercase, like DOS used to?

Shall we keep assuming that the Info.lua file is properly capitalized, or shall we allow for case-insensitiveness for this particular file?

The only way I can see this being a problem is if someone what to support burning plugins to CDs, the ISO 9660 file system only supports upper-case.
