Corona can't find the facebook plugin!

Hello,

When I try to run my app on mac I get this error:

Module ‘facebook’ not found:

no field package.preload[‘facebook’]

no file ‘/Users/me/Library/Application Support/Corona/Simulator/Plugins/facebook.lua’

no file ‘/Users/me/dev/bb/facebook.lua’

no file ‘/Applications/CoronaSDK-2871/Corona Simulator.app/Contents/Resources/facebook.lua’

no file ‘/Users/me/Library/Application Support/Corona/Simulator/Plugins/facebook.dylib’

no file ‘./facebook.dylib’

no file ‘/Applications/CoronaSDK-2871/Corona Simulator.app/Contents/Resources/facebook.dylib’

Here’s my build.settings

settings = { orientation = { default = "landscapeRight", supported = { "landscapeRight"} }, plugins = { ["facebook"] = { publisherId = "com.coronalabs" } } }

If i remove facebook = require('facebook') it works fine.  Of course - then I can’t use facebook.  Does anybody have any idea what might be going wrong with this?

The folder it referenced contained

catalog.json

CoronaProvider_native_popup_social.lua

plugin_fuse.lua

But no facebook.lua

If you open up Terminal and do a:

cd ~/Library/Application Support/Corona/Simulator/Plugins

then do:

ls

you should get a list of files. In there you should see a plugin_facebook.lua file that basically stubs out the plugin since it doesn’t work in the Simulator anyway.

For iOS you need to be using the Facebook V4 plugin anyway:  https://docs.coronalabs.com/plugin/facebook-v4/index.html

Hi Rob,

I’m just trying to get this to work on android, actually.  It was working in the past, but for some reason now it won’t load.  When I build for android and run, it says “Runtime Error”

/Users/jenkins/slaveroot/workspace/Templates/label/android/platform/resources/init.lu:820: module ‘facebook’ not found:resource (facebook.lu) does not exist in archive

Browsing the forums I have seen that enterprise users have had this issue, but I’m not on enterprise.  Any clue why this might be happening?

Can you post your build.settings?
