Wireshark-bugs: [Wireshark-bugs] [Bug 7976] Lua code crashes wireshark after update to 1.8.3

Date: Wed, 05 Dec 2012 14:55:13 +0000

Comment # 19 on bug 7976 from
I installed the dissector and with current SVN head got a different message:

Lua: Error during loading:
 /opt/test/share/wireshark/packet-bnetp.lua:529: bad argument #1 to 'field'
(Missing abbrev)

After that message, the dissector is listed in the list of available protocols
(Menu -> Internals -> Supported Protocols).

So to reproduce this further I need a trace.

Btw, if you ever touch that dissector again, it would be nice to
a) Add an abbrev for that field regardless to this bug
b) get rid of the debug output:

defining: uint64
defining: uint32
defining: uint16
defining: uint8
defining: int64
defining: int32
defining: int16
defining: int8
