Field extractor for boolean header fields cannot extract boolean value.
Attempt to do so results in luaL_error: "FT_ not yet supported".
Temp workaround is to use FieldInfo.label instead and interpret as string.
However the fix is trivial. Patch file attached.
To reproduce the problem:
-------------------------
1. Create a Lua script with a field extractor for a boolean field, e.g.:
local marked = Field.new("frame.marked")
2. In the callback function (tap.packet or proto.dissector etc.), attempt to
access the field as a boolean:
local isMarked = false
if marked() then isMarked = marked().value end
On the line with marked().value you will get the error: "FT_ not yet supported"
After applying the patch, the above code will work correctly.
