Cannot execute an object member function call from Lua

[kornerr]

Hi.
I have exported a class, its methods and the class' instance to Lua using the following example: http://sol2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorial/cxx-in-lua.html

Here is how I did it: https://github.com/kornerr/cpp-callback-script/blob/master/main.cpp#L58
The script is a single line: env:call("module", {"One", "Two"})

However, I only get "Segmentation fault".

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

{"One", "Two"} is a table. const Strings& is a std::vector<std::string>. C++ containers are not automatically serialized as tables unless explicitly requested, due to Long Standing Issues and Lots of Bikeshedding™.

If you would like sol2 to recognize something as a table, you need to wrap the arguments with sol::as_table/sol::as_table_t or sol::nested, as demonstrated in this example.

Specifically, you can add a call to your binding that looks like:

void runSol(Environment *env, const char *fileName)
{
    sol::state lua;

    // Register environment instance.
    lua["env"] = env;
    // Register environment class.
    lua.new_usertype<Environment>(
        "Environment",
        "addClient", &Environment::addClient,
        "call", [](Environment& env, const String &key, sol::as_nested<Strings> strings) {
            const Strings& values = strings;
            env.call(key, values);
        }
    );
    // Load and execute script.
    lua.script_file(fileName);
}

Thanks. That worked fine.
