Solution

• I install third-party packages as required according to README.md like this

#opm --install-dir=./ get zhangbao0325/orangelib      //opm download the 3rd packages

• i read the source code in lualib/resty/dns/balancer.lua

local lrandom = require "random"
local function randomlist(size)
 xxxx
 ........
  local randomizer = lrandom.new(158841259)
  ........
  xxxx
end

• According to the error log, i find the reason. according to above order installs package has a problem in lualib/resty/random.lua, no new() function in random.lua

• where can i find correct random.lua file,can you give me some suggestion? hope for your answer. thanks @zhangbao0325 @zhjwpku

• balancer plugin is dependent on lua-resty-dns-client libary. and this isssue has solved by @Tieske,the contributor of Kong.
• here are the steps to solve the problem 1 rm the file /usr/local/orange/lualib/resty/random.lua. random.lua is downloaded by opm --install-dir=./ get zhangbao0325/orangelib 2 Install dependencies by luarocks install lrandom
• if you want see more details, see also https://github.com/Kong/lua-resty-dns-client/issues/71#issuecomment-511929529
• i suggest you to remove random.lua in zhangbao0325/orangelib and add luarocks install lrandom into README.md @zhangbao0325
