Minimal single-file testing lib
https://github.com/kidd/spacesuit.lua/blob/master/spacesuit.lua#L99-L145
There are quite a few other testing libs for lua, and I’m usually in favor of contributing before forking another 80% solution.
While writting some minimal tests with assert, I started to write assert_equal, then assert_equal_rec, etc… And saw that I was basically rewriting busted. Then I decided to rewrite a minimal part of busted that doesn’t include outputters, or compatibility for windows, or anything. also, not so much syntax sugar (I’m not a big fan of rspec syntax)
So playing with wrappers and metatables I arrived to an implementation of spies that is very similar to what luassert offers. but without the entanglement with any other lib.
It has bugs for sure (nils are not treated properly yet), but was a nice learning exercise.
