Use pcall to catch Lua errors, possibly like this:

local success, result = pcall(dofile, "foo.lua")

If success is false, the function failed and the error message will be in result. If success is true, the return values of dofile will be in result. You can add additional result variables. For example:

local success, result1, result2, result3 = pcall(dofile, "foo.lua")

Try

function dofile(name)
  local f,err=loadfile(name)
  if f==nil then print(err) end
  local ok,err=pcall(f)
  if not ok then print(err) end
end
