- This tarball contains the official test scripts for Lua 5.1.
- Unlike Lua itself, these tests do not aim portability, small footprint,
- or easy of use. (Their main goal is to try to crash Lua.) They are not
- intended for general use. You are wellcome to use them, but expect to
- have to "dirt your hands".
- The tarball should expand in the following contents:
- - several .lua scripts with the tests
- - a main "all.lua" Lua script that invokes all the other scripts
- - a subdirectory "libs" with an empty subdirectory "libs/P1",
- to be used by the scripts
- - a subdirectory "etc" with some extra files
- To run the tests, do as follows:
- - go to the test directory
- - set LUA_PATH to "?;./?.lua" (or, better yet, set LUA_PATH to "./?.lua;;"
- and LUA_INIT to "package.path = '?;'..package.path")
- - run "lua all.lua"
- --------------------------------------------
- Internal tests
- --------------------------------------------
- Some tests need a special library, "testC", that gives access to
- several internal structures in Lua.
- This library is only available when Lua is compiled in debug mode.
- The scripts automatically detect its absence and skip those tests.
- If you want to run these tests, move etc/ltests.c and etc/ltests.h to
- the directory with the source Lua files, and recompile Lua with
- the option -DLUA_USER_H='"ltests.h"' (or its equivalent to define
- LUA_USER_H as the string "ltests.h", including the quotes). This
- option not only adds the testC library, but it adds several other
- internal tests as well. After the recompilation, run the tests
- as before.
