[Resolved] LuaUnit : doesn't work

[C0b0ll]

Hi,

Lua and MTA are new for me and I tried some peace of code. It is very powerful and particularly the unit testing.

I read and tried the tutorial on UnitTesting (http://lua-users.org/wiki/UnitTesting) :

-- Some super function to test 
function my_super_function( arg1, arg2 ) return arg1 + arg2 end 
  
-- Unit testing starts 
require('luaunit') 
  
TestMyStuff = {} --class 
    function TestMyStuff:testWithNumbers() 
        a = 1 
        b = 2 
        result = my_super_function( a, b ) 
        assertEquals( type(result), 'number' ) 
        assertEquals( result, 3 ) 
    end 
  
    function TestMyStuff:testWithRealNumbers() 
        a = 1.1 
        b = 2.2 
        result = my_super_function( a, b ) 
        assertEquals( type(result), 'number' ) 
        -- I would like the result to be always rounded to an integer 
        -- but it won't work with my simple implementation 
        -- thus, the test will fail 
        assertEquals( result, 3 ) 
    end 
  
-- class TestMyStuff 
  
luaUnit:run() 

When I execute this code, the "compilator" (i'm using SciTO editor) says me :

  Quote

> >lua -e "io.stdout:setvbuf 'no'" "aaa.lua"

lua: aaa.lua:29: attempt to index global 'luaUnit' (a nil value)

stack traceback:

aaa.lua:29: in main chunk

[C]: ?

>Exit code: 1

What can I do to fix that problem ?

Thanks a lot !

As far as I know, MTA blocks 3rd party Lua libraries for security reasons, so require will not load any lib.

Thanks for your reply,

Then, how to write unit testing for my MTA script ?

There is no need for it. If you really need one then you'll have to write it yourself.

Thanks again for your help.

I'll probably do it myself, but I have to learn more before .
