Can't install/run on Windows 10

[SauceChord]

I'm having problems running busted on Windows 10. Built Lua 5.4 (5.4.4?).
There exists a "busted" file, but I don't see how that's going to execute.
Also there's this Error: unknown option '-e' that shows up in the output?
In the bin directory there's only one file, busted

I think this is a LuaRocks problem. The -e flag is probably targetted at lua.exe and not at luarocks, since the latter doesn't know it.

Could it be this issue; luarocks/luarocks#1287 ?

[SauceChord]

I don't know but I got it solved by using scoop.sh to install luarocks and then install busted via luarocks thanks to another issue I found in their repo.

luarocks/luarocks#1501

So the steps I did (plus I guess since before installing a compiler for building lua from source)

• Install scoop.sh via powershell
  • Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser Optional: Needed to run a remote script the first time
  • irm get.scoop.sh | iex
• scoop install luarocks in powershell to install luarocks
• luarocks install busted in powershell to install busted
• Restart VSCode if it was open and open its terminal
• busted in VSCode terminal. Busted shows garbage text.
• chcp 65001 in VSCode terminal to change code page to UTF8
• busted in VSCode terminal. Busted shows clean text minus colors that I had on linux in wmware as I was testing.
• Super happy!
