CommandLine() Exposure Source

[reepblue]

The source for the Lua app seems to be out of date. Not only it still references the scripts are located under a script folder, but my main issue is that the function "CommandLine()" isn't valid in my application while I was thinking it was part of the engine's API. 

Can I get the source for this, or can this actually be in the engine so I can recreate the Lua application myself? I want my application to use Lua but have my C++ systems integrated and exposed using sol.

It's like this:
 

#include "UltraEngine.h"
#include "Steamworks/Steamworks.h"

using namespace UltraEngine;

void ExecuteDir(const WString& path, const bool recursive)
{
    auto dir = LoadDir(path);
    for (auto file : dir)
    {
        WString filepath = path + "/" + file;
        switch (FileType(filepath))
        {
        case 1:
            if (ExtractExt(file).Lower() == "lua")  RunScript(filepath);
            break;
        case 2:
            if (recursive) ExecuteDir(filepath, true);
            break;
        }
    }
}
 
int main(int argc, const char* argv[])
{
    //Get commandline settings
    auto settings = ParseCommandLine(argc, argv);

    auto L = GetLuaState();
    Steamworks::BindCommands(L);
    L->set_function("CommandLine", [settings]() { return tableplusplus::tablewrapper(settings); });

    //Run the error handler script
    RunScript("Source/System/ErrorHandler.lua");

    //Enable the debugger if needed
    shared_ptr<Timer> debugtimer;
    if (settings["debug"].is_boolean() and settings["debug"] == true)
    {
        RunScript("Source/System/Debugger.lua");
        debugtimer = CreateTimer(510);
        ListenEvent(EVENT_TIMERTICK, debugtimer, std::bind(PollDebugger, 500));
    }

    //Run the component system helper
    RunScript("Source/System/ComponentSystem.lua");

    //Run user start scripts
    ExecuteDir("Source/Start", false);

    //Run component scripts
    auto dir = LoadDir("Source/Components");
    for (auto file : dir)
    {
        if (FileType("Source/Components/" + file) == 2)
        {
            ExecuteDir("Source/Components/" + file, false);
        }
    }

    //Run main script
    RunScript("Source/main.lua");

    return 0;
}

This was very helpful, thank you. 

One change I added was this function that will preference the .luac version of the script if present. I replace all my RunScript calls with this. 

bool RunCompiledScript(const WString& path)
{
    auto p = StripExt(path);

    // If there is a .luac version of this file, run it instead.
    if (FileType(p + ".luac") != 0) return RunFile(p + ".luac");
    
    return RunScript(path);
}
