osrm-extract PANIC: unprotected error in call to Lua API (attempt to index a nil value)

[cbaines]

When I attempt to run the extractor, I get one or more of the above error message. I was testing on a clean installation of Debian Testing, with both v0.3.4 and master. The build log can be found here: http://paste.debian.net/23627/

[DennisOSRM]

How about posting a log of the actual error messages?

[cbaines]

Ok, no problem. I am happy to run more tests if you think this would help.

[DennisOSRM]

Which profile are you using? A custom one?

[cbaines]

Project-OSRM in the above log is a unaltered clone of the git repository, at master (ef1d75d). What I posted above was using profile.lua, but I get the same result with profiles/car.lua. Interestingly, running the command repeatedly, leads to differing results (differing number of PANIC's):

[DennisOSRM]

try executing osrm-extract from the Project-OSRM directory.

[cbaines]

Gives the same results.

chris@debian-testing:~/Project-OSRM$ build/osrm-extract hampshire-latest.osm.pbf profile.lua 
[i /home/chris/Project-OSRM/Extractor/ScriptingEnvironment.cpp:25] Using script profile.lua
PANIC: unprotected error in call to Lua API (attempt to index a nil value)

[DennisOSRM]

Try if you get same results on develop branch.

[cbaines]

I do. I also tried installing the libluajit-5.1-dev package, which leads to a different error (on the develop branch):

chris@debian-testing:~/Project-OSRM$ build/osrm-extract hampshire-latest.osm.pbf profile.lua 
[i /home/chris/Project-OSRM/Extractor/ScriptingEnvironment.cpp:25] Using script profile.lua
terminate called without an active exception

I also have this problem with the extractor on Debian Testing.

.../build$ ./osrm-extract latest.osm.pbf profile.lua 
[i .../Extractor/ScriptingEnvironment.cpp:25] Using script profile.lua
PANIC: unprotected error in call to Lua API (attempt to index a nil value)
PANIC: unprotected error in call to Lua API (attempt to index a nil value)
PANIC: unprotected error in call to Lua API (attempt to index a nil value)

The strange thing is: I get the same error regardless of the parameters, as long as there is a “file name” given. So it seems it may be a problem with Lua itself.

[DennisOSRM]

Is it possible that one of you could give me access to your machines, so I can have a direct look at stuff? Public keys are at /~https://github.com/DennisOSRM.keys

[guibsou]

hi all, i have exactly the same probleme on debian wheezy. have you find a solution ?

[DennisOSRM]

See #466

[svenpilz]

Is there something new in Debian or OSRM? I don't think this is related to #466.
