Textadept don't see libraries from luarocks about textadept HOT 5 CLOSED

But I don't understand why these paths are not included by default.

They are likely not standardized between the different Linuxes, BSDs and macOS ... (and 5.3 or 5.4).
Also it would make it even harder to debug other people's Textadept config problems i guess ... (Textadept ships with Lpeg for example but it could also be installed from Luarocks, you installed dkjson but it might also be part of a Textadept module ...)

Ok, I got it. Thank you very much!

It should work when you add the Luarocks path to Textadept's package.path variable (and/or package.cpath).
You could also define a separate rock path just for Textadept.

Only problem could be if there were relevant differences between Lua 5.3 and Lua 5.4 for your packages (as latest Textadept uses 5.4).

The current default definition is here, in init.lua: https://github.com/orbitalquark/textadept/blob/3d69ae01c0f2421a89b862ec5fea635a40826896/init.lua

@rgieseke thank you! I just copy-pasted paths from interpreter to init.lua and now it seems works fine:

package.path = package.path .. ';/usr/local/share/lua/5.3/?.lua;/usr/local/share/lua/5.3/?/init.lua;/usr/local/lib/lua/5.3/?.lua;/usr/local/lib/lua/5.3/?/init.lua;/usr/share/lua/5.3/?.lua;/usr/share/lua/5.3/?/init.lua;./?.lua;./?/init.lua'

package.cpath = package.cpath .. ';/usr/local/lib/lua/5.3/?.so;/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lua/5.3/?.so;/usr/lib/lua/5.3/?.so;/usr/local/lib/lua/5.3/loadall.so;./?.so'

But I don't understand why these paths are not included by default.
