A little dubious, but apparently CC used to support it. This means we're
consistent with methods like io.write or string.len which accept strings
or numbers.
Fixes#591
Control characters become escaped as JSON requires
Non-ASCII characters get escaped as well for better interoperability
We assume here that lua strings represent only first 256 code points of unicode
- Use jacoco for Java-side coverage. Our Java coverage is /terrible
(~10%), as we only really test the core libraries. Still a good thing
to track for regressions though.
- mcfly now tracks Lua side coverage. This works in several stages:
- Replace loadfile to include the whole path
- Add a debug hook which just tracks filename->(lines->count). This
is then submitted to the Java test runner.
- On test completion, we emit a luacov.report.out file.
As the debug hook is inserted by mcfly, this does not include any
computer startup (such as loading apis, or the root of bios.lua),
despite they're executed.
This would be possible to do (for instance, inject a custom header
into bios.lua). However, we're not actually testing any of the
behaviour of startup (aside from "does it not crash"), so I'm not
sure whether to include it or not. Something I'll most likely
re-evaluate.
This is relatively unoptimised right now, but should be efficient enough
for most practical applications.
- Add textutils.json_null. This will be serialized into a literal
`null`. When deserializing, and parse_null is true, this will be
returned instead of a nil.
- Add textutils.unserializeJSON (and textutils.unserializeJSON). This
is a standard compliant JSON parser (hopefully).
- Passing in nbt_style to textutils.unserializeJSON will handle
stringified NBT (no quotes around object keys, numeric suffices). We
don't currently support byte/long/int arrays - something to add in
a future commit.
- 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)).
