Re: Are there any guide or best practice article for unit test with lua ?

[Brian McCallister <brianm@...>]

FWIW, I wound up making a miniscule unit test harness for a project I  
am working on:

The harness:
	http://svn.i-want-a-pony.com/repos/wombat/trunk/test/moonunit.lua

Example Usage:
	http://svn.i-want-a-pony.com/repos/wombat/trunk/test/test.lua

Running the Example (with some configs changed to generate failures):

brianm@golem:~/src/wombat/test$ ./test.lua
[basic_post_alt]                        pass
[map_regex2]                            pass
[server_says_hi]                        pass
[post_with_table]                       pass
[basic_post]                            pass
[request_attributes]                    pass
[simple]                                pass
[map_regex]                             pass
[translate_name_hook2]                  FAIL ./test.lua:97: expected  
200 got 404
[fixups_hook]                           FAIL ./test.lua:109:  
incorrect status code returned, expected 201 got 200
[server_version]                        pass
[basic_get]                             pass
[super_basic_config]                    pass
[simple_mapped]                         pass
[quietly]                               pass
[translate_name_hook]                   FAIL ./test.lua:91: expected  
200 got 404
[simple_filter]                         pass
brianm@golem:~/src/wombat/test$

brianm@golem:~/src/wombat/test$ ./test.lua simple_filter  
translate_name_hook
[simple_filter]                         pass
[translate_name_hook]                   FAIL ./test.lua:91: expected  
200 got 404
brianm@golem:~/src/wombat/test$


It doesn't have anything very fancy, but it works darned well. Lua's  
assert(..) does pretty much all the heavy lifting.
