bats(1) -- Bash Automated Testing System
|
||||
========================================

|
||||
|
||||
SYNOPSIS
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
bats [-c] [-p | -t] <test> [<test> ...]
|
||||
|
||||
<test> is the path to a Bats test file, or the path to a directory
|
||||
containing Bats test files.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
DESCRIPTION
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
Bats is a TAP-compliant testing framework for Bash. It provides a simple
|
||||
way to verify that the UNIX programs you write behave as expected.

Bats is a TAP-compliant testing framework for Bash.
|
||||
It provides a simple way to verify that the UNIX programs you write behave as expected.
|
||||
A Bats test file is a Bash script with special syntax for defining
|
||||
test cases. Under the hood, each test case is just a function with a
|
||||
description.
|
||||
|
||||
Bats is most useful when testing software written in Bash, but you can use it to test any UNIX program.
|
||||
Test cases consist of standard shell commands. Bats makes use of
|
||||
Bash's `errexit` (`set -e`) option when running test cases. If every
|
||||
command in the test case exits with a `0` status code (success), the
|
||||
test passes. In this way, each line is an assertion of truth.
|
||||
|
||||
See `bats`(7) for more information on writing Bats tests.

RUNNING TESTS
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
To run your tests, invoke the `bats` interpreter with a path to a test
|
||||
file. The file's test cases are run sequentially and in isolation. If
|
||||
all the test cases pass, `bats` exits with a `0` status code. If there
|
||||
are any failures, `bats` exits with a `1` status code.
|
||||
|
||||
You can invoke the `bats` interpreter with multiple test file
|
||||
arguments, or with a path to a directory containing multiple `.bats`
|
||||
files. Bats will run each test file individually and aggregate the
|
||||
results. If any test case fails, `bats` exits with a `1` status code.
