Pete JonesNoob question for <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/lua" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lua</a> folks...I'm playing around with old Advent of Code challenges to learn to program with Lua in general (rather than using it just for configuring Neovim) and I'm finding it awkward to work interactively because of how the "local" keyword works differently in files and in the REPL.Because I'm a beginner (and probably because I'm an R user) it's really helpful for me to work through the solutions with an interactive REPL session open next to my script. But then I can't send the code directly to REPL to check my work because local assignments in the top level of the file don't work in the REPL. I realise I can get around this by declaring them as globals instead but that feels contrary to idiomatic Lua.Is there a workflow solution for this? Or do Lua users just not use this kind of interactive "send to REPL" workflow when developing their scripts?<a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/lualang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lualang</a>

Gergely "Bane of the Crawlers" NagyI'm on a bit of a roll lately, and have released <a href="https://come-from.mad-scientist.club/tags/iocaine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#iocaine</a> version <a href="https://git.madhouse-project.org/iocaine/iocaine/releases/tag/iocaine-2.4.0" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">2.4.0</a> just a few moments ago.This does not bring that many significant changes as 2.3.0 did, but it does introduce <a href="https://come-from.mad-scientist.club/tags/lua" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Lua</a> and <a href="https://come-from.mad-scientist.club/tags/fennel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fennel</a> as languages you can script its decision making with, on top of <a href="https://come-from.mad-scientist.club/tags/roto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Roto</a>, which was introduced in 2.2.0.While these languages run slower than Roto, they're still very fast, and are not going to be a bottleneck - they do provide a more familiar language to write the decision making in!Oh, and metrics can now be persisted across restarts.

Gergely "Bane of the Crawlers" NagyIn other <a href="https://come-from.mad-scientist.club/tags/iocaine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#iocaine</a> news, I'm doing some final polishing on <a href="https://come-from.mad-scientist.club/tags/lua" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Lua</a> scripting support, to make it as convenient as <a href="https://come-from.mad-scientist.club/tags/roto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Roto</a>.Right now, there's a differenc between how Lua and Roto scripts are loaded: with Roto, one needs to give a path to a directory, and <code>pkg.roto</code> will be loaded from there, and any <code>import</code>s will be relative to that directory.With Lua, one gives iocaine a file path, and - currently - needs to set up the <code>package.path</code> search path manually.So here's what I'll do: I'll make iocaine require a directory for Lua too, and it will add it to <code>package.path</code>, and will <code>require("main")</code>. The required module will also have to return a table with at least a <code>decide</code> key, and an optional <code>run_tests</code> key. This will simplify finding the functions to run, and will greatly reduce the number of special cases.

Gergely "Bane of the Crawlers" NagyToday, I'm writing tests. Originally, I planned to write a bunch of tests in Rust to exercise the request handlers, but that felt like a huge pain in the backside, and would've involved a lot of repetition and boilerplate.Then, I figured: I'll write the tests in <a href="https://come-from.mad-scientist.club/tags/roto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Roto</a> and <a href="https://come-from.mad-scientist.club/tags/lua" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Lua</a>! Test the things from that side. Much less boilerplate, but still a lot of repetition.Instead, I'll be writing a test suite to verify the decisions of a request handler. I'll run it for both engines, <a href="https://come-from.mad-scientist.club/tags/roto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Roto</a> and <a href="https://come-from.mad-scientist.club/tags/lua" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Lua</a>. I will still have to write the scripts twice, but I will only write the verification once.
