In the newest version the lua functions loadfile and dofile are broken.

loadfile:

Expected behaviour: returns (function, nill) on success or (nil, string) on failure.
Observed behaviour: always returns (number, nil). The first return value seems to be an error level. It is 0 if loadfile should have succeeded, 3 if there's an error in the file that is loaded, and 6 if the file does not exist.

dofile:

Expected behaviour: returns all values that the executed script returned or propagates error to caller if one occurs.

Observed behaviour: reurns (number, nil). First return value is 0 if dofile should have succeeded, and 1 if the call failed (either due to an error in the loaded file or due to the file not existing).

This is still broken in 4.96. Half of the new posts over in the lua forum are people complaining that the scripts aren't working anymore. Can this please be fixed?

Hi psycore,

I've passed this along to the development team. Thanks for the report!
