Hey Vinicius,
The issue here is that for the .conf file, the naming format is different — you
want to use ‘lua-config-file’, not ‘lua_config_file’.
Additionally, for the YAML settings (preferred), the way to set that
configuration flag is via a nested property, not with dot notation. So instead
of using ‘recursor.lua_config_file=…”, you want to structure it like the other
settings —
recursor:
lua_config_file: …
For more info, check the YAML settings docs:
