A Little Help with Components?

[halfrose]

 For the first time I started making components, they are for canned foods that I have modded along with a can opener.
 As I was explained, there should be two components. "can" and "canopener", which I made. I am not sure if the can part is working, becauuse I can't get past an issue on the canopener component. I always receive the following:

[00:01:00]: [string "scripts/entityscript.lua"]:54: attempt to index field '?' (a boolean value)
LUA ERROR stack traceback:
    scripts/entityscript.lua:54 in (upvalue) LoadComponent (Lua) <50-58>
    scripts/entityscript.lua:518 in (method) AddComponent (Lua) <512-534>
    ../mods/Kings and Gods/scripts/prefabs/canopener.lua:29 in (field) fn (Lua) <6-35>
    scripts/mainfunctions.lua:146 in () ? (Lua) <135-177>

I am not sure what I am doing wrong, as much as I got some references, I am having a hard time figuring out how to set it right.

this is what I did in the modmain.
 

local Action = GLOBAL.Action
local ActionHandler = GLOBAL.ActionHandler 

AddAction("CANOPEN", "Canopen", function(act)
		if act.target.components.canopen then
			act.target.components.canopener:Canopen(act.doer)
		return true
		end
	end)

	AddStategraphActionHandler("wilson", ActionHandler(GLOBAL.ACTIONS.CANOPEN, "dolongaction"))
	
	AddStategraphActionHandler("wilson_client", ActionHandler(GLOBAL.ACTIONS.CANOPEN, "dolongaction"))

AddComponentAction("INVENTORY", "canopener", function(inst, doer, actions, right)
		  if doer and right and doer:HasTag("canned") and
                not (doer.replica.inventory:GetActiveItem() == inst and
                    doer.replica.rider ~= nil and
                    doer.replica.rider:IsRiding()) then
                table.insert(actions, ACTIONS.CANOPEN)
            end
	end)

Any help or pointer would be really appreciated

 

EDIT: it no longer crashes the game, but now the action is simply not working, at least it is one less issue, still not fully solved though.

Debugprints will help:

print("this message appears in the logs')

print("reveal values like so", inst, inst.components.can.open)

thanks for the tip, I will print all over it to see where it is simply not going
