Open Source Lua Software Testing Tools for Linux

httest is a script based tool for testing and benchmarking web applications, web servers, proxy servers and web browsers. httest can emulate clients and servers in the same test script, very useful for testing proxys.

Interactive evaluation for Neovim (Clojure, Fennel, Janet, Racket, Hy, MIT Scheme, Guile). Conjure is an interactive environment for evaluating code within your running program. The core features of Conjure are language agnostic (although it’s targeted at Lisps for now), with each language client providing their own extra tools. Here are the currently supported languages, contributions, and 3rd party plugins that add clients are highly encouraged! You can find a comparison table for all clients and supported features in the wiki. Conjure adds support for various languages through "clients", these are Lua modules that expose a selection of functions and values that allow the wider Conjure UX to interact with the target language. There’s more information on configuring Conjure to point at clients depending on the file type under :h conjure-clients.

Grimoire is a framework for building and running Warcraft 3 game and world editor hacks. It includes several DLLs which streamline map development and add new functionality.

busted is a unit testing framework with a focus on being easy to use. Supports Lua >= 5.1, luajit >= 2.0.0, and moonscript. busted test specs read naturally without being too verbose. You can even chain asserts and negations, such as assert.is_not.equal. Nest blocks of tests with contextual descriptions using describe, and add tags to blocks so you can run arbitrary groups of tests. An extensible assert library allows you to extend and craft your own assert functions specific to your case with method chaining. A modular output library lets you add on your own output format, along with the default pretty and plain terminal output, JSON with and without streaming, and TAP-compatible output that allows you to run busted specs within most CI servers.
