Minctest

This is a Lua port of Minctest, a very minimal unit-testing "framework" originally written in ANSI C. It's handy when you want some real simple unit tests for a small project.

Basically, it implements assertion and equal functions. It'll track and time how many tests pass and fail. Failed tests will also display which line the failing test code was on.

Features

• Contained in a single file.
• Reports file and line number for failed assertions.
• Reports run time for each test.
• Tests continue even after an assertion fails.
• Has assertion for checking float equality.
• Released under the zlib license - free for nearly any use.

Installation

You can either copy minctest.lua into your project, or if you use luarocks run luarocks install minctest.

Example

require "minctest"

lrun("test1", function()
    lok('a' == 'a');          --assert true
end)

lrun("test2", function()
    lequal(5, 5);             --compare integers
    lfequal(5.5, 5.5);        --compare floats
end)

return lresults();            --show results

That produces the following output:

        test1         pass: 1   fail: 0      0ms
        test2         pass: 2   fail: 0      1ms
ALL TESTS PASSED (3/3)

Hints

 All functions start with the letter 'l'.
