busted-jsonl

This is an alternative output handler for Busted, a unit testing framework for Lua.

It is based on the json output handler that is bundled with Busted.

It prints a JSON element per test instead of per suite, aka JSON Lines. Useful for:

• parsing busted output by stream
• running long suites on systems that timeout non verbose jobs after some minutes, like Travis CI.
• analyzing busted output with any tool that supports JSON Lines (VisiData).

Installing

luarocks install busted-jsonl

Using

busted -o jsonl

or add a file .busted to your project root containing

return {
   default = {
      output = "jsonl"
   },
}

Example

busted -o jsonl | jq
busted -o jsonl | vd -f jsonl
