HTTP Error 400 (Bad Request) - Type: ScriptError -> LUA_INIT_ERROR

See original GitHub issue

After installing manually Splash manually on Ubuntu Server 14.04, I tried to request on browser and it raised the error as below:

{
    "error": 400,
    "description": "Error happened while executing Lua script",
    "info": {
        "message": "...me/ryan/splash-master/splash/lua_modules/sandbox.lua:243: bad argument #1 to 'load' (function expected, got string)",
        "type": "LUA_INIT_ERROR"
    },
    "type": "ScriptError"
}

Lua version: 5.2.4

I will appreciate any help from you.

@kmike I think Splash should err out on startup when detecting Lua 5.1 and before.

Lupa still uses Lua5.1 as shown in your output:

2016-08-29 10:00:06.127538 [-] Qt 5.2.1, PyQt 5.2.1, WebKit 537.21, sip 4.15.5, Twisted 16.2.0, Lua 5.1

Did you check that pip install lupa ... actually reinstalled/rebuilt the package? You might need --force-reinstall flag for that, so that it becomes pip install -I --force-reinstall --upgrade ...
