Is there a better way to require file from relative path in lua
My directory structure looks like this:
|-- ball.lua
|-- entity.lua
|-- test
`-- ball_test.lua
I'm using the following code in test/ball_test.lua to require ball.lua from the parent directory:
package.path = package.path .. ";../entity.lua"
require("entity")
package.path = package.path .. ";../ball.lua"
require("ball")
entity.lua is a dependency of ball.lua. So I require("entity") first otherwise I get a module 'entity.lua' not found error. This seems like a hack, what's a better way to do this?
Solution 1:
package.path = package.path .. ";../?.lua"
will work for both.
