<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi,</div><div>My name is Ansh Somra. I am second year student interested in Gsoc and working in software development. I recently created my account in <a href="http://code.videolan.org">code.videolan.org</a> and waiting for administrator approval until then, I went to Vlc code base and compiled it successfully in my ubuntu machine.</div><div><br></div><div>I am particulary interested <a href="https://wiki.videolan.org/SoC_2026/#Provide_a_small_patch:~:text=Scholz%2C%20Alexandre%20Janniaux-,Lua%20Script%20Test%20Harness,-Project%20Description%3A">Lua Script Harness Tes</a><a href="https://wiki.videolan.org/SoC_2026/#Provide_a_small_patch:~:text=Scholz%2C%20Alexandre%20Janniaux-,Lua%20Script%20Test%20Harness,-Project%20Description%3A">t</a> and My project idea is to create small environment to test LUA scripts without compiling whole vlc. As for a initial experment i created mockmessage.c which consist of original functions of message.c from vlc/modules/lua/libs/messages.c and a test.c to provide it with alternative inputs to test the script and it provided expected output </div><div>
