"Attempt to index global "iris" (a nil value)" error when trying to call function in custom library

[Tiny Desk Engineer 0]

I'm working on a server that handles connections between Stargates in the mod AUNIS: Resurrection (Now known as Just Stargate Mod) and I created a simple library to make controlling the iris/shield on the connected gate less tedious, but when I attempt to call one of the functions in the library, I get an error which seems to indicate that the "iris" variable referencing the iris library is either nil or nonexistent. Why is this?

I have attached the server and library lua files below for debugging.

 

 

server.lua iris.lua

Oh. The library just wasn't reloaded since it was last edited. Oh well, if anyone else is experiencing a problem like this, just set the entry for the library that needs to be reloaded in package.loaded to nil. require should completely reload the library the next time it's used.

No, wait, that doesn't seem to work. Just use the classic "turn it off and then back on again" solution.
