Description Kevin Kofler 2019-01-08 00:49:51 UTC
Description of problem:
All the AI scripts in Blobby Volley 2 (blobby) are failing to load. As a result, the AI does not move at all and it is impossible to play against the AI.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
blobby-1.0-17.svn1681.fc28.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Blobby Volley 2.
2. Configure it to play against any of the AI scripts.
3. Start the game.

Actual results:
All scripts produce the same errors:
Warning: impossible to get value of unknown configuration variable bot_debug
Couldn't load api.lua: not found
Script Error: Could not create LuaGameLogic: 
Couldn't load api.lua: not found
              Using fallback ruleset
and the AI does not move at all.

Expected results:
No errors and the AI actually plays.

Additional info:
This worked fine in previous Fedora releases (up to Fedora 27), which shipped the older blobby-1.0-11.svn1541.fc24 build.

Comment 1 Kevin Kofler 2019-01-08 00:58:23 UTC
Downgrading to blobby-1.0-11.svn1541.fc24 with "sudo dnf --releasever=27 distro-sync blobby" "fixes" the issue, so it is really the blobby package causing the issue and not some system library.

Comment 2 Kevin Kofler 2019-01-08 01:07:22 UTC
The SVN snapshot in F27 was from 2014, F28 has a snapshot from 2018. Unfortunately, it goes without saying that a lot of things changed in those 4 years, so I cannot figure out what upstream change broke things just by going through their SVN log.

Comment 3 Kevin Kofler 2019-01-08 20:06:34 UTC
I found out how to fix it: you have to install the files:
* data/api.lua to /usr/share/blobby/api.lua
* data/bot_api.lua to /usr/share/blobby/bot_api.lua
* data/rules_api.lua to /usr/share/blobby/rules_api.lua

I used the following workaround:
su -
cd /usr/share/blobby
wget 'https://sourceforge.net/p/blobby/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/data/api.lua?format=raw' -O api.lua
wget 'https://sourceforge.net/p/blobby/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/data/bot_api.lua?format=raw' -O bot_api.lua
wget 'https://sourceforge.net/p/blobby/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/data/rules_api.lua?format=raw' -O rules_api.lua
logout

With that workaround, the current snapshot (blobby-1.0-17.svn1681.fc28.x86_64) works for me, but those files must be included in the package.

Created attachment 1519284 [details]
blobby-install-api-lua-files.patch

The attached patch (to data/CMakeLists.txt) should fix the issue.

Ping? Do you want me to do the update for you? (I'm a provenpackager.)

Hi Kevin,

Sorry for the delay. Yes, please go ahead and apply the patch. Thank you!

I applied the patch in Rawhide, but the builds are stuck because of the Koji (s390x builder) outage that lasts the whole weekend. I will take care of the rest when Koji goes back to normal operation.
