Scene LUA line or character limit?

[tbrock47]

I've successfuly created multiple scenes that essentially run only LUA code to operate.
I recently expanded one of my scripts which is now 85 lines long, however, the scene no longer functions.
When i test the script in chunks it works fine, but when it is all put together, it fails.

This leads me to belive that my script is too long for the VeraPlus to handle. Is there some unwritten limit that I have exceeded?
Apologies if this has been addressed, as I couldn't find any results searching around.

Yes, I believe this is true.

There's no need to have all this code in one piece.  By far the easiest thing is to split it into library modules and use require to include them at startup.

I assume you are talking about putting the code into actual module files?
How do I save these files with my code?
Can you link me to a tutorial or wiki?

Do you know how to use ssh or putty?

[tbrock47]

I do.

And as an update, it looks like its a character limit, not a line limit. And this character limit also includes comments.
Unsure what the exact limit it however.

Lua files, written as modules, can be transferred to /etc/cmh-ludl/ and then accessed through the require statement.

This is a BUG in Vera.
Early in UI7 I pushed Vera to accept POST commands for most of their requests.
It took a few releases for them to get that right ... its working now.
The nice thing about a POST request is there is NO size limit.
A GET request, what they mostly use, has a LINE LENGTH limit.
