Description

Additionally, find some way to run CI for windows as leafo's github actions do not support it. So either fix that upstream or find a different method.

  • maybe use chocolatey - luarocks package is pretty outdated, we use the 3.0 format so that wouldn't work
  • manually install everything - would work, but I'd have to learn what windows-latest comes with on github actions. for example can I curl/wget a luarocks binary? and add it to the PATH
  • See if there's another github action that supports windows

Contributor guide

Research direction
Research how to run Lua tests on Windows using GitHub Actions. Look into pre installed software on windows latest runners and find a way to install Lua and luarocks manually if needed. Consider using a matrix strategy for different Lua versions.
