attempt to yield across C-call boundary

[duzc2]

local copas = require'copas' local ws_client = require('websocket.client').copas() ws_client:connect('ws://127.0.0.1:8180/')

error:copas.lua:298: attempt to yield across C-call boundary

env: luajit 2.0.2 the last version of copas and coxpcall windows 7

can you provide more info? within my test environment, this works: https://github.com/lipp/lua-websockets/blob/master/spec/server_copas_spec.lua#L109

I can confirm I'm getting the same problem as the OP. Here's the stacktrace I get:

Let me know if there's any other piece of info you need to help track down this bug.

Just tested this on lua 5.1.5 and getting similar stacktrace:

environment and settings the same as above except PUC-Lua 5.1.5 is used instead of luajit.

Hi,

I also get this error on LEDE: lua -v Lua 5.1.5 Copyright (C) 1994-2012 Lua.org, PUC-Rio (double int32)

First prise will be if there are a fix for the COPAS, else I'll try and get someone to build me the lua-ev package to try that since I'll need a mainloop in my application.

If you need more info feel free to ask and I'll gladly provide it

It should be mentioned in the documentation that copas-mode code must run inside copas.addthread
