Would it be possible to provide consistent boilerplate on Lua track - or at the least better instructions how to submit solutions.

Research direction
Start by comparing the testing setup and instructions for the named exercises: Hello World, Hamming, House, Difference of Squares, and Leap. Document or align the boilerplate so a beginner can determine how to run each exercise's tests consistently; done means the setup differences are explained or removed.

Description
On most other tracks once you get through setting up the language and running "Hello World" - and maybe one or two more problems - you pretty much know how to test. But on Lua track the boilerplate evolves without any explanation. I solved "Hello World", "Hamming", "House" "Difference of Squares" and "Leap" and for each one the setup for testing looks slightly different. Perhaps it is obvious once you progress in Lua a bit but it is really confusing for beginner.
