Can't figure out why this is returning nil

So, I am working on an installer/updater for a project I am working on, and I can't figure out why my function is returning nil. It should only be able to return nil if it can't get to GitHub, but I tested the same functions in the Lua console, but I can't figure it out.

local function checkVersion()
  print("Getting latest version...")
  local response = http.get(rawRepoLocation.."version")    --Gets version on GitHub
  if reponse then
	githubVersion = tonumber(response.readAll())
  end
  if (githubVersion ~= nil) then
	if (fs.exists("NB-Storage/version") == true) then    --Gets current version
	  local file = fs.open("NB-Storage/version", "r")
	  localVersion = tonumber(file.readAll())
	  file.close()
	else
	  return "not installed"
	end
	if (githubVersion > localVersion) then   --Checks if GitHub version is newer
	  return true
	else
	  return false
	end
  else    --If can't get to GitHub
	return
  end
end

Is it returning nil, or false?

What's "rawRepoLocation"?

It returns nil, and rawRepoLocation is the raw location of the repository on GitHub. I know it can get the file fine if that is what you are getting at.

If by "file" you mean whatever rawRepoLocation.."version" resolves to, then that suggests that response.readAll() simply cannot be represented as a number.

It can, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Selim042/Northbridge-Storage/master/version is what it points to, and I tested downloading it and turning it to a number in the Lua console.

If it works in the Lua console, then that suggests you're not setting rawRepoLocation to what you think you're setting it to. It's "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Selim042/Northbridge-Storage/master/", right?

By the way, don't forget to close "response"!

Edit:

Ah, here we go:

if response then

Well that was a fail… thanks though
