I've been struggling with a little bit of a problem lately, wanted to create a widget that retrieves gmail data using curl. The problem encountered is the function io.popen() that returns nil [attempt to index io nil value] (as having an error in lua) even though not doing anything special, tested also with ls -l and other trivial bash commands... Can somebody help me resolve the problem? [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/html, Size: 501 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
