Facebook plugin not working?

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

I’m using the latest daily build but I have tried a few others as well. Anyways I have the facebook plugin in my build settings
 

["facebook"] = { publisherId = "com.coronalabs" }

and when I try to do 

local facebook = require("facebook")

I get this error 

"…module ‘facebook’ not found:resource (facebook.lu) does not exist in achieve

Hi @dmglakewood,

Please post your complete build settings code. And, make sure you don’t have some other Lua module named “facebook.lua” somewhere in the project.

After further testing I think the issue might be subdirectories. 

If I put this in the main.lua it works fine
 

local facebook = require("facebook")

I put that in this file /login/scenes/sceneSelectUser.lua then it throws that error I posted in the first post.

Here is my build settings code…I’m also testing this on an android device if that helps any

 

settings = { plugins = { ["plugin.google.play.services"] = { publisherId = "com.coronalabs" }, ["CoronaProvider.ads.vungle"] = { publisherId = "com.vungle" }, ["plugin.gameanalytics"] = { publisherId = "com.gameanalytics", }, ["plugin.advertisingId"] = { publisherId = "com.coronalabs" }, ["plugin.chartboost"] = { publisherId = "com.swipeware" }, ["facebook"] = { publisherId = "com.coronalabs" }, }, orientation = { default = "landscape", supported = { "landscape, landscapeUpsideDown" } }, iphone = { plist = { UIAppFonts = { "Dotrice Regular.otf", "Unispace-Regular.ttf", "ChunkFive Ex.ttf", "Defused Extended Bold.ttf", "Bebas Neue.otf", "Star Jedi.ttf", "Globus.ttf", "FreeSet Bold.ttf", "Vinque.ttf" }, UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend = false, CFBundleIconFile = "Icon.png", CFBundleIconFiles = { "Icon.png", "Icon-Small.png", "Icon-Small@2x.png", "Icon-Small-50.png", "Icon-Small-50@2x.png", "Icon@2x.png", "Icon-72.png", "Icon-144.png", "Icon-60.png", "Icon-60@2x.png", "Icon-76.png", "Icon-76@2x.png" }, UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend = false, }, }, excludeFiles = { -- Exclude all svn files all = { "\*.svn" }, -- Exclude all Android icon files iphone = { "Icon-\*dpi.png" }, -- Exclude iOS "retina" image android = { "Icon\*.png", "\*@2x.png" } }, -- Android permissions androidPermissions = { "android.permission.INTERNET", "android.permission.ACCESS\_WIFI\_STATE", "android.permission.READ\_PHONE\_STATE", "android.permission.ACCESS\_NETWORK\_STATE", "android.permission.WRITE\_EXTERNAL\_STORAGE", }, }

Well I’m completely lost I setup a project and nested a scene a few directories deep and the facebook plugin worked just fine. I do the same thing in my current project and it throws that error. I have nothing else in my project that uses facebook and no files called facebook. This is driving me crazy. 

#6

I might have found the issue I was calling the composer overlay in a coroutine and for some reason it doesn’t like that.  Anyone know why that would be?

#7

Bump any help or ideas on this? The facebook plugin wont work when an overlay is called from a coroutine. I’m not sure if this is a bug or maybe I don’t know enough about coroutines. 

#8

I would file a bug on this. I don’t know if the facebook SDK is thread safe, but a bug report will let Engineering check it out.
