how to test private elements in a module

["Thijs Schreijer" <thijs@...>]

List,

 

The best thing I could come up with is something like this at the end of a module;

 

-- test aliases for local functions

if _TEST then

  cli.split = split

  cli.wordwrap = wordwrap

end

 

return cli

 

It’s a small burden on production code and relies on a global ‘_TEST’, works perfectly well, just wondering if there is a better approach, and if not, is there an accepted form of the ‘_TEST’  global by another name?
