I started this script below in which I wanted to alter file content. When I put in my first check if the file exists, it threw out of the blue the "a attempt to call nill" error. I am clueless what the problem seems to be.

I modified the script to gather more information and look it prints the exists function, but later when I try to access it directly it is nill again?

I rebooted the CC computer in the hope it is a corrupted table, but with no success. (Also tried restarting minecraft)
(Vanilla CraftOS 1.7)


The script....

arguments = {...}
print(#arguments)
blrup = {}
references = {}
if arguments ~= nil and #arguments > 0 then
for k,v in pairs(fs) do
  print(" ",k, "-", v)
  fs[k]=v
  blrup[k] = v
  if references[v] then
   error("reference found twice" , k)
  end
  references[v] = true
end

if( arguments[1] and string.lower(arguments[1]) == "register" and arguments[2] and fs["exsists"](arguments[2])) then
  print("Service registered - %s", arguments[2])
elseif arguments[1] and string.lower(arguments[1]) == "register" then
  printError("Please use Service register [PATH]")
  print("Is fs nil? ", fs == nil)
  print("Is fs.exsists nil? ", fs.exsists == nil and fs["exsists"] == nil and blrup["exsists"] == nil)
  print(fs.exsists("/test"))
end
end

I hope you guys can spot any issues?

In several places in your script you have fs.exsists (note the extra 's') instead of fs.exists.

When stuff like this happens, you should always consider typing error...
In fact, in your screenshot, you can clearly see that "exist" exists...
