How to use rocks installed through packer?

[VVKot]

I added use_rocks "lua-cjson" to my packer config and successfully installed them. My impression was that now I can do something like local json = require("cjson") in my Lua files and it will succeeded, however, it fails with module 'cjson' not found.

Admittedly I don't know much about Lua - maybe I am missing something obvious here? Is there some path setup that I should add?

packer should be doing the path setup you need. If you open your packer_compiled, do you see some lines setting package.path and package.cpath?

Eh, I tried to bust everything completely again, and reinstalled it - works now. 🤷 Maybe because at first I tried to install, and only then found #180 (comment)? In any case, sorry for the noise.

Ah, that's possible. I'm glad things are working now - feel free to reopen if they break again.
