'=' expected near 'g' neovim lsp config init file

Question

I'm trying to setup neovim config using lua config.

I want to use vim-terminator to run current file.

I've my config file in this branch in the repo.

I've added the below config of vim-terminator plugin.

let g:terminator_runfile_map = {
            \ "javascript": "node",
            \ "python": "python -u",
            \ "c": "gcc $dir$fileName -o $dir$fileNameWithoutExt && $dir$fileNameWithoutExt",
            \ "fortran": "cd $dir && gfortran $fileName -o $fileNameWithoutExt && $dir$fileNameWithoutExt"
            \ }

I get the below error -

  Error detected while processing /home/rajkumar/.config/nvim/init.lua:
  E5113: Error while calling lua chunk: vim/_init_packages.lua:0: /home/rajkumar/.config/nvim/lua/v
  im-terminator/init.lua:1: '=' expected near 'g'
  stack traceback:
          [C]: in function 'error'
          vim/_init_packages.lua: in function <vim/_init_packages.lua:0>
          [C]: in function 'require'
  "." is a directory
  Press ENTER or type command to continue

I'm novice in lua. Not sure how to fix this error. Any Idea what I'm missing in my config.

This is not lua code, this is viml. To configure nvim with lua, at least go through basic lua tutorial? — jdhao

let g:terminator_runfile_map = {
            \ "javascript": "node",
            \ "python": "python -u",
            \ "c": "gcc $dir$fileName -o $dir$fileNameWithoutExt && $dir$fileNameWithoutExt",
            \ "fortran": "cd $dir && gfortran $fileName -o $fileNameWithoutExt && $dir$fileNameWithoutExt"
            \ }

is not valid Lua code. let g:terminator_runfile_map = ... is Vim script.

If you require this file it is executed as Lua code and hence Lua would first complain about a missing = between let and g because an identifyer alone is not a valid Lua expression.

You're confusing two scripting languages here.

vim.g.terminator_runfile_map = {
  javascript = "node",
  python = "python -u",
  c = "c": "gcc $dir$fileName -o $dir$fileNameWithoutExt && $dir$fileNameWithoutExt",
  fortran = "cd $dir && gfortran $fileName -o $fileNameWithoutExt && $dir$fileNameWithoutExt",
 }

would be a Lua equivalent. I don't know if this makes sense in nvim context though.

Can't edit but looks like a typo -- c = "c": "gcc ... should be c = "gcc ...
