Expected Behaviour

The test suite should pass.

Actual Behaviour

While packaging this for GNU Guix, I encountered the following issue when attempting to run the test suite with luamake test -v:

starting phase `check'
...lq279c23rwqb-luamake-1.7/lib/luamake/scripts/sandbox.lua:117: module 'bee.sys' not found:
	no field package.preload['bee.sys']

	no file '/gnu/store/6rdkyhaig82cx2yhyv1hlq279c23rwqb-luamake-1.7/lib/luamake/bee.so'
	no file './build/bin/bee.so'
stack traceback:
	...x-build-lua-language-server-3.16.4.drv-0/source/test.lua:5: in main chunk
error: in phase 'check': uncaught exception:

Given where bee.so is looked for, either this is an error with my luamake installation, or the build system of lua-language-server is confused because I use a luamake that is not built from its same tree?

Reproduction steps

  1. I built luamake from its 1.7 release tag. Its installed files are:

  1. I built lua-language-server using this luamake binary, via: luamake -notest

  2. I try to run the test suite with: luamake test

    Warning: I am not super familiar with the bee runtime or luamake build tool used by the language server.

    The error seems to indicate that at least some part of bee.lua, the language server's C++ runtime, is missing. Have you run git submodule update --init --recursive to pull down bee.lua in the language server repo?

    Thanks for the reply; it's been some time but I believe this was the issue indeed.
