Unit tests

Luchia has full unit test coverage. They can be run with:

lua run_unit_tests.lua -v

Integration tests

The higher-level Luchia classes (luchia.database, luchia.document, luchia.utilities) have a full integration test suite. To run it, make sure that the default server settings in luchia.conf point to a valid, running CouchDB instance with full administrative access, and run:

cd /path/to/luchia/tests
lua run_integration_tests.lua -v
