Which lua functions can I use? dofile is one of them?

Solar2D Lua Language
#1

I am trying to use the dofile function but the console keeps returning me the following error:
Runtime error
cannot open dataTest.lua: No such file or directory
stack traceback:
[C]: ?
[C]: in function ‘dofile’
/Users/mac/Documents/zero9 apps/myDemos/main.lua:16: in main chunk
Runtime error: cannot open dataTest.lua: No such file or directory
stack traceback:
[C]: ?
[C]: in function ‘dofile’
/Users/mac/Documents/zero9 apps/myDemos/main.lua:16: in main chunk

Is it available in Corona?

Is there a full documentation on which functions does Corona support?

To my knowledge, you can’t use dofile. It is disabled on purpose to be more close to Apple’s TOS. [import]uid: 5712 topic_id: 896 reply_id: 2080[/import]

Why do you need it? Are you trying to execute dynamically generated code at run-time? That can be a serious security risk in some cases.

I was just following the example in the blue book about data description. [import]uid: 4883 topic_id: 896 reply_id: 2114[/import]
