Can't get to load components with knit

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’ve been trying to use knit components for a while but i didn’t manage to get it done, I’ve seen youtube videos, the documentation, you name it, I tried, I still haven’t found a solution, this is my current scripts.

Component

local Knit = require(game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Packages.Knit)
local Component = require(Knit.Util.Component)

local MyComponent = {}
MyComponent.__index = MyComponent
MyComponent.Tag = "MyComponent"

-- CONSTRUCTOR
function MyComponent.new(instance)
	local self = setmetatable({}, MyComponent)
	print("heldaps")
	-- Add more properties to self before returning like self.TimeCreated = tick()
	return self
end

return MyComponent

Initializer

local Knit = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Packages.Knit)
local Component = require(Knit.Util.Component)

Knit.AddServices(script.Parent.Services)

for i, v in pairs(script.Parent.Components:GetChildren()) do
	require(v)
end

Knit.Start():catch(warn)

So, you’re doing it the old way. Assuming you’re using the latest version, this is how I do it:

Component

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local Component = require(ReplicatedStorage.Packages.Component)
local Trove = require(ReplicatedStorage.Packages.Trove)

local TestComponent = Component.new({ Tag = "SomeTag" })

function TestComponent:Construct() 
	self._Trove = Trove.new()
end

function TestComponent:Start() end

function TestComponent:Stop() 
	self._Trove:Clean()
end

return TestComponent

The trove part is optional of course. There are other methods too and other stuff that you can read from the documentation.

Init

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local Knit = require(ReplicatedStorage.Packages.Knit)

local StartTime = tick()

local function RoundDecimalPlaces(Number: number, DecimalPlaces: number)
	local Multiple = 10 ^ (DecimalPlaces or 0)
	return math.floor(Number * Multiple + 0.5) / Multiple
end

local function OnStartSuccess()
	warn(string.format("[SERVER]: Started (%s)", tostring(RoundDecimalPlaces(tick() - StartTime, 3))))
end

local function OnStartFailure(Error)
	warn(string.format("[SERVER]: Errored (%s)", tostring(RoundDecimalPlaces(tick() - StartTime, 3))))
	warn(Error)
end

for _, Dependency: ModuleScript in ipairs(script:GetDescendants()) do
	local IsModuleScript = Dependency:IsA("ModuleScript")

	local IsComponent = Dependency:IsDescendantOf(script.Components) and Dependency.Name:match("Component$")
	local IsService = Dependency:IsDescendantOf(script.Services) and Dependency.Name:match("Service$")

	if IsModuleScript and (IsComponent or IsService) then
		require(Dependency)
	end
end

Knit.Start():andThen(OnStartSuccess):catch(OnStartFailure):await()

This is how I do it. What you have looks like it works fine besides the fact you require component when it’s unnecessary.
