    Hi.

    In my project property, the 'Only load main.lua on start:' is checked.
    After upgrading to Gideros 2022.6, the following error occurs
    ----------------------------------------------------------------

    [string "luabinding/compatibility.lua"]:79: Module luasp.init not found
    stack traceback:
    [string "luabinding/compatibility.lua"]:79: in function require
    main.lua:7: in function


    ----------------------------------------------------------------

    at
        require 'luasp.init'
    in the main.lua file. 'init.lua' file is located at 'asset/luasp' folder.

    There were no problem in former versions.
    Please help me.

      require command disappeared from luau, so in Gideros we redefined it: https://github.com/gideros/gideros/blob/master/luabinding/compatibility.lua#L62

      But I guess our implementation doesn’t handle your case. Actually we don’t handle dots as path separators, that could be improved. But you should be able to just require ´luasp’ since by default Gideros will try to load it with /init.lua appended

      I overloaded the require() in main.lua as
      if gideros then
 
    function require(module)
		if package.loaded[module] then return package.loaded[module] end
		local m
		if package.preload[module] then
			assert(type(package.preload[module])=="function","Module loader isn't a function")
			m=package.preload[module](module) or true
		else
 
			local fullpath = string.gsub(module, '%.','/') .. '.lua'
			--print(fullpath)
			local luafile,err=loadfile( fullpath )		
			if luafile and type(luafile)=="function" then 
				m=luafile(module) or true
			end		
 
		end
		assert(m,"Module "..module.." not found")
		package.loaded[module]=m or true
		return m
	end
 
end
 
 
require 'luasp.init'
      It seems that all my custom modules are loaded. However, the player doesn't run and occurs the following error

      ----------------------------------------
      nil
      attempt to index nil with '__styleUpdates'
      stack traceback:
      ----------------------------------------

      any help?

      Since 2022.6, Gideros will try to get __styleUpdates value from 'application' global variable. The error you get seem to mean that application global variable was somehow set to nil somewhere in your code. Could that be ?

      By upgrading to ver. 2022.8, the above error occurring problem is removed.
      My overridden require() function works well too.
      Thank you.
