HAProxy LUA not able to load LUA module cjson

Help!
1

Hello,

The LUA with HAproxy is not able to load cjson and LUA execution exits.

> Is there special cjson.so inclusion required in HAProxy config or LUA file?

 local function foo()
        core.log(core.info, "In foo")

        local json = require('cjson')

        core.log(core.info, "Out foo")
end

function choose_backend(txn)

       foo()

        return "app"
end

core.register_fetches("choose_backend", choose_backend)

Only prints below log in HAProxy logs
In foo


frontend http-in
    mode http

    bind *:443 ssl crt /etc/haproxy/server.pem ca-file /etc/haproxy/ca.crt verify required

    **use_backend %[lua.choose_backend]**
   
    reqadd X-Forwarded-Proto:\ https if { ssl_fc }
    option forwardfor

The same cjson on same centos machine works with standalone lua problem.

$ cat helloworld
-- hello world lua program
print ("Hello World!")


local function foo()
        print ("In foo")

        local json = require('cjson')

        print ("Out foo")
end

foo()

Prints - lua helloworld
Hello World!
In foo
Out foo

The cjson is installed on centos machine

Hi,

HAProxy sends error log if Lua ends with an error.
These errors are sent on the same way than the proxy logs.

In other way, haproxy requires lua-5.3, your cjson file are compiled with the lua5-1 version.
