VERSION:
Computercraft 1.78

DESCRIPTION:
Dofile returns Attempt to call nil even when running a file filled with "print('TEST!')" Tested using Lua console. Loadfile("test")() does expected.

EXPECTED RESULT:
"TEST!" is printed.

REPRODUCTION STEPS:
Type lua. Choose any file. Run dofile(filename)

Edit: Also seems to be an issue in 1.79pr0 and pr1 according to Github.

That's weird.
It works for me in 1.78, but not in 1.79pre1 (due to a typo in bios.lua).
Are you sure you're running 1.78 and that you made no mistakes like writing dofile with an uppercase letter?

Jar file and forge both claim 1.78 (Minecraft 1.8.9) and I avoid using uppercase for anything but secondary words. I will double check though.

Can confirm. Lower case letters. Only tested on advanced computer and advanced pocket.

It's due to a typo in the bios.lua. I reported it on the GitHub issues page a bit ago. It works fine in 1.78 though, this bug was only introduced in 1.79pr0.

Figured out the issue. Dofile does not exist in 1.78 without Lua 5.1 functions
