OK, in which case the Wiki Lua Setup section needs updating:
http://wiki.wireshark.org/Lua
> Have you tried using any Lua extensions with that version of Wireshark?
Yes, I tried hello, http and gui from the Wiki (Lua/Taps). None worked with
Tshark.
> And what arguments did you try with the "-X" flag?
-X lua_script:http.lua
-X lua_script:nosuchfile
-X asdasdsadas
None seems to have any effect on Tshark.
However, I've just tried editting the init.lua script, and this does work.
So it seems that the problem is that the -X flag does not work in Tshark.
I have now found that Wireshark 0.99.5-SVN-19958 does successfully process the
-X lua_script qualifier. It detects missing files, and errors in the Lua
scripts. I've also just noticed the Tools Menu has Lua items which seem to
work.
Not tried with WireShark 0.99.4 yet, but I assume that works.
So it's just TShark that does not work for me.
