  • lapis-annotate - Autogenerate comments on models with their database schema
  • lapis-console - Interactive MoonScript console for Lapis that runs inside of your browser

Running Tests

Section titled “Running Tests”

If you need to run tests outside of our CI. The test suites require [Busted][2] and [MoonScript][1]. There are three separate test suites:

  • busted — test Lua implementations
  • busted spec_postgres — integration tests with PostgreSQL. Requires a running PostgreSQL server
  • busted spec_mysql — integration tests with MySQL. Requires a running MySQL server
  • busted spec_openresty/ — integration tests with OpenResty as a server. Requires installation of OpenResty & Databases
  • busted spec_cqueues/ — integration tests with lua-http and cqueues as a server.

Test suites that require databases need to have the initial database created. A lapis_test database is created on each. You can run each command respectively.

Terminal window
make test_db # postgres test db
make mysql_test_db
  • PostgreSQL: Ensure the postgres user can be logged in with no password.
  • MySQL: Ensure the root user can be logged in with no password.

Using the Docker image

Section titled “Using the Docker image”

This repository contains a Dockerfile for running the entire test suite. You can run it with the following commands:

Terminal window
docker build -t lapis-test .
docker run lapis-test

docker build will pull in the files in the current directory, including any changes. To test modified code, build again before running the test suite. It should be a quick operation since dependency installation is cached.
