    <p>I would ask your help for an error that is driving me crazy.</p> <p>Ohh... I'm using LUA with Corona SDK btw...</p> <p>I am creating an instance of a ship. The ship is being instantiated, I can access its properties, but I can not access any method!! Follow the codes, I do not know what to do:</p> <p>spaceShip.lua:</p> <pre><code>require('gameConf') spaceShip = {} spaceShip.__index = spaceShip function spaceShip:New(posX, posY, width, height) local _spaceShip = nil _spaceShip = {} setmetatable(_spaceShip, spaceShip) _spaceShip = display.newRect(posX - width/2, posY - height/2, width, height) _spaceShip:setFillColor(140, 140, 140, 0) _spaceShip.width = width _spaceShip.height = height local shipShape = { -width/2, -height/2, width/2, -height/2, width/2, height/2, -width/2, height/2 } local shipShapeMaterial = { density = 1.0, friction = 1.0, bounce = 0.0 , shape = shipShape} local shipMotor = { -width/2, height/3, width/2, height/3, width/2, height/2, -width/2, height/2 } local shipMotorMaterial = { density = 1.0, friction = 1.0, bounce = 0.0 , shape = shipMotor} physics.addBody( _spaceShip, shipShapeMaterial, shipMotorMaterial ) return _spaceShip end function spaceShip:log() print("ship") end function spaceShip:applyFrontImpulse() local angle = math.rad(self.rotation) local xComp, yComp = math.cos(angle), -math.sin(angle) local forceMag = 2 self:applyLinearImpulse(forceMag * xComp, forceMag * yComp, self.x, self.y) end </code></pre> <p>and part of main.lua</p> <pre><code>require('camera') require('gameConf') require('meteor') require('spaceShip') -- Add Physics local physics = require( "physics" ) physics.start() physics.setDrawMode( "hybrid" ) physics.setGravity( 0, 0 ) -- Load camera local camera = camera:New() -- Containers meteorManager = {} shipManager = {} -- Load Vector class vector = require "vector" -- Create one ship local myShip = nil; myShip = {} myShip = spaceShip:New(600, 200, 30, 60) table.insert(shipManager, myShip) camera:insert(myShip) myShip:log() &lt;----- HERE IS THE ERROR rest of the code... </code></pre> <p>The error in terminal is:</p> <pre><code>2013-03-21 19:18:15.736 Corona Simulator[48347:707] Runtime error: 2013-03-21 19:18:15.737 Corona Simulator[48347:707] ...t/iOS/Deep Space Harvest/Deep Space Harvest/main.lua:28: attempt to call method 'log' (a nil value) stack traceback: [C]: in function 'log' ...t/iOS/Deep Space Harvest/Deep Space Harvest/main.lua:28: in main chunk </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
