[OpenSIPS-Users] lua_exec in timer route - OpenSIPS 3.1

[Ben Newlin]

I wouldn’t recommend trying to bypass the restriction in this way. Both the lua and python exec modules were designed to operate on a SIP message, which is why they can only be called from routes that process messages. Calling it from time_route where there is no message, even if you could get it to work, could have unexpected and unpleasant results.

>From LUA module doc for lua_exec: “Calls a Lua function with passing it the current SIP message” [1].

what you can try, is to call another route in the time route.
And then in that route, you execute the lua script.
maybe (just a myabe) that will work.

Hi Johan

In the documentation for 3.1 lua module - TIMER_ROUTE is not one of the routes available to lua_exec. If I include it in a TIMER route, OpenSIPS fails to start with syntax error and the log error is:

    CRITICAL:core:yyerror: parse error in /etc/opensips/opensips.cfg:265:19-20: Command <lua_exec> cannot be used in the block#012

If I move the lua_exec command into main route{ it works fine

I also encounter the problem running a cache_remove_chunk in a TIMER route although the documentation doesn't say that it's not valid for TIMER route. It fails on startup with the error:

    CRITICAL:core:yyerror: parse error in /etc/opensips/opensips.cfg:266:33-34: Command <cache_remove_chunk> cannot be used in the block#012

Again - if I run the command in main route{ the command works fine


cheers,

Mark

It for sure does not run in async mode.
Did you try executing a script in timer route ?
What's the output in the log ?

Is there a way to run a lua_exec from a timer route?
