Cannot be run in Resty CLI

[turbo]

I use resty to run unit tests against an openresty project, but any files which require this shell module will fail with this message:

Error → /usr/local/openresty/lualib/ngx/pipe.lua @ 500
suite ./spec/util_spec.lua
/usr/local/openresty/lualib/ngx/pipe.lua:500: cannot change a protected metatable

stack traceback:
    /usr/local/openresty/lualib/ngx/pipe.lua:500: in main chunk

The fact that this is a test doesn't matter, even a simple require will crash the script. The trace points to this line:

local Proc = ffi.metatype("ngx_http_lua_ffi_pipe_proc_t", mt)

hello, I also ran into this issue while writing unit test with resty cli and busted test framework，here is a minimial case: prepare two unit test file spec/ dir simply require resty-shell lib and busted runner: spec/1_spec.lua

describe("ut 1", function()
    it("ut 1", function()
        require("resty.shell")
    end)
end)

spec/2_spec.lua

describe("ut 2", function()
    it("ut 2", function()
        require("resty.shell")
    end)
end)

spec/busted_runner.lua

setmetatable(_G, nil)
require 'busted.runner'({standalone = false })

run the two test file with resty cli as follow:

/usr/local/openresty/bin/resty spec/busted_runner.lua -v spec/

the second file 2_spec.lua aborted with error:

[gerrard@gerrard ~]$ /usr/local/openresty/bin/resty spec/busted_runner.lua -v spec/
