UnitTests is a class module from Wikipedia that enables unit test generation and module debugging in Scribunto.

Description

Unlike ScribuntoUnit, this framework can generate many tests for a single case. But ultimately it serves the same purpose of helping to debug modules.

Invocation functions:

u.run_tests

Executes the /testcases module.

Class functions:

u:new

Unit test constructor

u:preprocess_equals

Unit test for invocation vs. text string

Arguments: (text, expected, options)

u:preprocess_equals

Unit test for invocation vs. text string

Arguments: (text, expected, options)

u:preprocess_equals_many

Unit test for multiple preprocess_equals cases

Arguments: (prefix, suffix, cases, options)

u:preprocess_equals_preprocess

Unit test for invocation vs. preprocessed text string

Arguments: (text1, text2, options)

u:preprocess_equals_preprocess_many

Unit test for multiple preprocess_equals_preprocess cases

Arguments: (prefix1, suffix1, prefix2, suffix2, cases, options)

u:equals

Unit test for direct comparison of Lua variables

Arguments: (actual, expected, options)

u:equals_many

Unit test for multiple equals cases

Arguments: (cases, options)

u:equals_deep

Unit test for deep value comparison

Arguments: (name, actual, expected, options)

u:equals_deep_many

Unit test for multiple equals_deep cases

Arguments: (name, cases, options)

Internal/private functions:

• Scribunto preprocessor (bypasses frame:preprocess bugs)
• Value-string conversion
• Table-string conversion
