Add spec generator and script for installing development dependencies #504

Closed ryanplusplus closed 2 months ago

ryanplusplus commented 2 months ago

This adds an optional spec generator that makes it easier to create and maintain spec files. There's no tooling that enforces its use and, in my experience on other tracks, some exercises are challenging/awkward to generate specs for so I see this as a feature. I included the configuration that I used to generate the wordy spec.

Since the generator depends upon dkjson and luaformatter, I also added a rockspec that lists the development dependencies and a script to use LuaRocks to install these dependencies.

Finally, I documented the spec generator and development dependency installation in the README.

Closes https://github.com/exercism/lua/issues/259

This is because the capitalization of a test name was changed by the generator. We can safely merge with [no important files changed].
