- Define an expect(index, actual_value, types...) helper function which
takes an argument index, value and list of permissable types and
ensures the value is of one of those types.
If not, it will produce an error message with the expected and actual
type, as well as the argument number and (if available) the function
name.
- Expose expect in the global scope as _G["~expect"], hopefully making
it clear it is internal.
- Replace most manual type checks with this helper method.
- Write tests to ensure this argument validation works as expected
Also fix a couple of bugs exposed by this refactor and the subsequent
tests:
- Make rednet checks a little more strict - rednet.close(false) is no
longer valid.
- Error when attempting to redirect the terminal to itself
(term.redirect(term)).
- os.time, when given a table, will act the same as PUC Lua - returning
the seconds since the epoch. We preserve the previous string/nil
behaviour though - os.epoch("local") is equivalent to PUC's
os.time().
- os.date will now act accept a string and (optional) time, returning
an appropriate table.
Somewhat resolves the madness which was dan200/ComputerCraft#183, and
hopefully (though probably not) makes @Vexatos happy.
For instance, `pastebin run https://pastebin.com/LYAxmSby` will now
extract the code and download appropriately. Also add an error message
when we received something which is not a valid pastebin code.
See #134.
This runs tests on CraftOS using a tiny test runner that I originally
knocked up for LuaDash. It can be run both from JUnit (so IDEA and
Gradle) and in-game in the shell, so is pretty accessible to work with.
I also add a very basic POC test for the io library. I'd like to flesh
this out soon enough to contain most of the things from the original io
test.
