Writing tests for Terra in Moonscripts fails #592

Open DarkWiiPlayer opened 5 years ago

DarkWiiPlayer commented 5 years ago

I've tried if this was possible, but it seems the moonscript parser is loaded as Terra code, which then fails because of using undeclared globals.

What is this? a feature request, or a bug? please add appropriate details

DarkWiiPlayer commented 5 years ago

If it was suposed to work, then it's a bug. If it doesn't, then it's a feature request. Either way I think it would make sense for it to be possible, or at least give an appropriate error messages saying that you can't write tests for terra in moonscript.

not familiar with either terra nor moonscript. But PR's are welcome! 😄

The upstream tests for moonscript itself are written in moon and run using busted. Do you mean that specifically testing terra using moonscript specs is a problem? But that it works for specs written in plain Lua?
