    Need some help implementing Leaderboard in FB Instant Game

    I've having trouble getting leaderboard to work in FB Instant.
    This is the code I'm using upon finishing a level to save the score. But I'm getting the error -

    "LuaPlugins_/FBInstant.lua:384: attempt to call method 'gsub' (a nil value)
    stack traceback:
    _LuaPlugins_/FBInstant.lua:384: in function 'escapeString'
    _LuaPlugins_/FBInstant.lua:447: in function 'setScoreAsync'
    GameManager.lua:502: in function '?'
    _LuaPlugins_/FBInstant.lua:555: in function <_LuaPlugins_/FBInstant.lua:553>"

    The code I'm using is -
    mydata.FBInstant.startGameAsync(function() 
 
                if mydata.FBInstantAPI == true then
 
                    mydata.FBInstant.getLeaderboardAsync("my_leaderboard", function(result,error)
 
                        result:setScoreAsync(430,{level=1},function(self,result,entry)
                            if result then
                                print("score ok",entry)
                                for key,val in pairs(entry.entry) do
                                    print(key,val)
 
                                    local text = TextField.new(mydata.font1, "0")
                                    stage:addChild(text)
                                    text:setPosition(20, 20)
                                    text:setText(key.." "..tostring(val))
                                end
 
                            end
                        end)
 
                    end)
 
                end
 
            end)
    Any and all help deeply appreciated. Thanks.

      IIRC the second parameter to setScoreAsync must be a string (json), not directly a table

      @hgy29 Thank you so much for your reply. With your help, the code now works.

      Now for what I'm sure is a very stupid question. How do I put variables in the string?
      As in this works - '{race: "elf", level: 3}'

      I'd also like to make this work - {level: mydata.levelID}'

      You can use several ways:
      -- Using concatenation:
local payload=[[{race: "]]..playerRace..[[", level: ]]..playerLevel..[[}]]
-- Using string.format:
local payload=([[{race: "%s", level: %d}]]):format(playerRace,playerLevel)
-- Using json encode
require "json"
local playerData={ race=playerRace, level=playerLevel}
local payload=json.encode(playerData)
