Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

Unreleased

Added

• Setting cwd in the options for process.spawn to a path starting with a tilde (~) will now use a path relative to the platform-specific home / user directory.

Changed

• NetRequest query parameters value has been changed to be a table of key-value pairs similar to process.env. If any query parameter is specified more than once in the request url, the value chosen will be the last one that was specified.

Fixed

• Fixed process.spawn blocking all lua threads if the spawned child process yields.

0.3.0 - February 6th, 2023

Added

• Added a new global stdio which replaces console

• Added stdio.write which writes a string directly to stdout, without any newlines

• Added stdio.ewrite which writes a string directly to stderr, without any newlines

• Added stdio.prompt which will prompt the user for different kinds of input

  Example usage:

  local text = stdio.prompt()
  
  local text2 = stdio.prompt("text", "Please write some text")
  
  local didConfirm = stdio.prompt("confirm", "Please confirm this action")
  
  local optionIndex = stdio.prompt("select", "Please select an option", { "one", "two", "three" })
  
  local optionIndices = stdio.prompt(
      "multiselect",
      "Please select one or more options",
      { "one", "two", "three", "four", "five" }
  )
  

Changed

• Migrated console.setColor/resetColor and console.setStyle/resetStyle to stdio.color and stdio.style to allow for more flexibility in custom printing using ANSI color codes. Check the documentation for new usage and behavior.
• Migrated the pretty-printing and formatting behavior of console.log/info/warn/error to the standard Luau printing functions.

Removed

• Removed printing functions console.log/info/warn/error in favor of regular global functions for printing.

Fixed

• Fixed scripts hanging indefinitely on error

0.2.2 - February 5th, 2023

Added

• Added global types for networking & child process APIs
  • net.request gets NetFetchParams and NetFetchResponse for its argument and return value
  • net.serve gets NetRequest and NetResponse for the handler function argument and return value
  • process.spawn gets ProcessSpawnOptions for its third and optional parameter

Changed

• Reorganize repository structure to take advantage of cargo workspaces, improves compile times

0.2.1 - February 3rd, 2023

Added

• Added support for string interpolation syntax (update to Luau 0.561)

• Added network server functionality using net.serve

  Example usage:

  net.serve(8080, function(request)
      print(`Got a {request.method} request at {request.path}!`)
  
      local data = net.jsonDecode(request.body)
  
      -- For simple text responses with a 200 status
      return "OK"
  
      -- For anything else
      return {
          status = 203,
          headers = { ["Content-Type"] = "application/json" },
          body = net.jsonEncode({
              message = "echo",
              data = data,
          })
      }
  end)
  

Changed

• Improved type definitions file for Selene, now including constants like process.env + tags such as readonly and mustuse wherever applicable

Fixed

• Fixed type definitions file for Selene not including all API members and parameters
• Fixed process.exit exiting at the first yield instead of exiting instantly as it should

0.2.0 - January 28th, 2023

Added

• Added full documentation for all global APIs provided by Lune! This includes over 200 lines of pure documentation about behavior & error cases for all of the current 35 constants & functions. Check the README to find out how to enable documentation in your editor.

• Added a third argument options for process.spawn:

  • cwd - The current working directory for the process
  • env - Extra environment variables to give to the process
  • shell - Whether to run in a shell or not - set to true to run using the default shell, or a string to run using a specific shell
  • stdio - How to treat output and error streams from the child process - set to "inherit" to pass output and error streams to the current process

• Added process.cwd, the path to the current working directory in which the Lune script is running

0.1.3 - January 25th, 2023

Added

• Added a --list subcommand to list scripts found in the lune or .lune directory.

0.1.2 - January 24th, 2023

Added

• Added automatic publishing of the Lune library to crates.io

Fixed

• Fixed scripts that terminate instantly sometimes hanging

0.1.1 - January 24th, 2023

Fixed

• Fixed errors containing ./ and / or ../ in the middle of file paths
• Potential fix for spawned processes that yield erroring with "attempt to yield across metamethod/c-call boundary"

0.1.0 - January 24th, 2023

Added

• task now supports passing arguments in task.spawn / task.delay / task.defer
• require now uses paths relative to the file instead of being relative to the current directory, which is consistent with almost all other languages but not original Lua / Luau - this is a breaking change but will allow for proper packaging of third-party modules and more in the future.
  • NOTE: If you still want to use the default Lua behavior instead of relative paths, set the environment variable LUAU_PWD_REQUIRE to true

Changed

• Improved error message when an invalid file path is passed to require
• Much improved error formatting and stack traces

Fixed

• Fixed downloading of type definitions making json files instead of the proper format
• Process termination will now always make sure all lua state is cleaned up before exiting, in all cases

0.0.6 - January 23rd, 2023

Added

• Initial implementation of Roblox's task library, with some caveats:

  • Minimum wait / delay time is currently set to 10ms, subject to change
  • It is not yet possible to pass arguments to tasks created using task.spawn / task.delay / task.defer
  • Timings for task.defer are flaky and deferred tasks are not (yet) guaranteed to run after spawned tasks

  With all that said, everything else should be stable!

  • Mixing and matching the coroutine library with task works in all cases
  • process.exit() will stop all spawned / delayed / deferred threads and exit the process
  • Lune is guaranteed to keep running until there are no longer any waiting threads

  If any of the abovementioned things do not work as expected, it is a bug, please file an issue!

Fixed

• Potential fix for spawned processes that yield erroring with "attempt to yield across metamethod/c-call boundary"

0.0.5 - January 22nd, 2023

Added

• Added full test suites for all Lune globals to ensure correct behavior
• Added library version of Lune that can be used from other Rust projects

Changed

• Large internal changes to allow for implementing the task library.
• Improved general formatting of errors to make them more readable & glanceable
• Improved output formatting of non-primitive types
• Improved output formatting of empty tables

Fixed

• Fixed double stack trace for certain kinds of errors

0.0.4 - January 21st, 2023

Added

• Added process.args for inspecting values given to Lune when running (read only)
• Added process.env which is a plain table where you can get & set environment variables

Changed

• Improved error formatting & added proper file name to stack traces

Removed

• Removed ... for process arguments, use process.args instead
• Removed individual functions for getting & setting environment variables, use process.env instead

0.0.3 - January 20th, 2023

Added

• Added networking functions under net

  Example usage:

  local apiResult = net.request({
  	url = "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1",
  	method = "PATCH",
  	headers = {
  		["Content-Type"] = "application/json",
  	},
  	body = net.jsonEncode({
  		title = "foo",
  		body = "bar",
  	}),
  })
  
  local apiResponse = net.jsonDecode(apiResult.body)
  assert(apiResponse.title == "foo", "Invalid json response")
  assert(apiResponse.body == "bar", "Invalid json response")
  

• Added console logging & coloring functions under console

  This piece of code:

  local tab = { Integer = 1234, Hello = { "World" } }
  console.log(tab)
  

  Will print the following formatted text to the console, with syntax highlighting:

  {
      Integer = 1234,
      Hello = {
          "World",
      }
  }
  

  Additional utility functions exist with the same behavior but that also print out a colored tag together with any data given to them: console.info, console.warn, console.error - These print out prefix tags [INFO], [WARN], [ERROR] in blue, orange, and red, respectively.

Changed

• The json api is now part of net
  • json.encode becomes net.jsonEncode
  • json.decode become net.jsonDecode

Fixed

• Fixed JSON decode not working properly

0.0.2 - January 19th, 2023

Added

• Added support for command-line parameters to scripts

  These can be accessed as a vararg in the root of a script:

  local firstArg: string, secondArg: string = ...
  print(firstArg, secondArg)
  

• Added CLI parameters for downloading type definitions:

  • lune --download-selene-types to download Selene types to the current directory
  • lune --download-luau-types to download Luau types to the current directory

  These files will be downloaded as lune.yml and luneTypes.d.luau respectively and are also available in each release on GitHub.

0.0.1 - January 18th, 2023
