• I've been using LuaUnit since 2013
• around 150 tests
• lua framework for our kamailio configuration
• lua-ngcp-kamailio
• I was coming from python and I was quite comfortable with the API

• I've been using LuaUnit 3.4 since 17 dec 2020
• only some files atm with 11+ tests, but will increase.
• Multiplayer Mod for Noita
• NoitaMP
• No need to struggle around with dependencies - single file 'import'; easy to write and read test - no 'describe', 'it' or similar; several output formats; codecov/luacov compatible

since when you have been using LuaUnit
Yesterday

A dozen or so

why you liked luaunit
Can use without luarocks. luarocks is impossible to install on Windows.

• I've been using Lua itself for ~ 1 week, to build VclipMangler
• I've been using LuaUnit for ~ 3 days, selected from the list at Unit Testing, because its description said "supports Lua 5.1" (which I need) and "no dependencies" (which I like)
• Currently have ~ 50 assertions; LuaUnit reports 6 tests because they're contained in 6 functions

I should chime in on the issues page, w/ suggestions :}
