testMore

Name

testMore - yet another framework for writing test scripts

Yep - but for Linux shell scripts

Synopsis

# Include module
. "./testMore.sh"

# Plan number of tests
testMore_tests=8

# Various ways to say "ok"
ok ($got eq $expected) $test_name;
 
is $got $expected $test_name;
isnt $got $expected $test_name;
 
# Rather than print STDERR "# here's what went wrong\n"
diag "here's what went wrong";
 
like $got "expected" $test_name;
unlike($got "expected $test_name;

Description

Using simple test like:

• ok - expression is true
• is - two strings a equal
• isnt - two strings a NOT equal
• like - string matches a regex pattern
• unlike - string does NOT match regex pattern

This module is simply included and ready to use

The process is:

1. Include the module using . "./testMore.sh"
2. dump_header
3. Plan a number of tests - testMore_tests=
4. Run the tests: ok. is, isnt, like, unlike
5. Terminate with done_testing

Example: testMore.t.sh

. "./testMore.sh"
. "./trim.sh"

dump_header

diag "NOTE! Test 1 + 5 are supposed to fail"
testMore_tests=8
note
note "Testing OK"
ok  0 "This is NOT OK"
ok  1 "This is OK"

diag
diag "Testing IS"
mix="  123 456  "
got=`trim "$mix"`
is "${got}" "123 456" "Trim l+r\t[${got}]"

diag
diag "This should fail:"
#mix="  123 456  "
got=`trim "$mix"`
isnt "${got}" "  123 456  " "Trim l+r\t[${got}]"

diag
note "Special cases"
#mix="  123 456  "
got=`ltrim "$mix"`
is "${got}" "123 456  " "Trim l\t[${got}]"

#mix="  123 456  "
got=`rtrim "$mix"`

diag "Got to fail: Wrong number of arguments"
ok "${got}" "  123 456" "Got to fail: Wrong number of arguments"

diag "Like it - or not"
like "abcdefg" "bcd" "bcd in abcdefg"
unlike "abcdefg" "bfd" "bfd NOT in abcdefg"
