ft syntax

An input file should respect the following structure:

tests:
    - name: "Test name"
      binary: "binary to test"
      args:
        - "arg1"
        - "arg2"
        - "..."
     # Other options

Here is a list of options that ft can handle:

Option name	Type	Description	Default value
name	String	Name of the test	None
binary	String	Binary to test	None
args	Array of Strings	Arguments to give to the tested binary	None
stdout	String	What the test case should output on stdout	None
stderr	String	What the test case should errput on stderr	None
exit_code	Integer	shell exit code of the test case	0
timeout	Integer	Maximum allotted time to the test case, in seconds	1000

Arguments

To pass arguments to a binary, do as you would when writing the command yourself. This means that in order to do the following:

binary arg0 arg1 -o opt0

You would need to create the following YAML

tests:
    - name: "..."
      binary: "binary"
      args:
        - "arg0"
        - "arg1"
        - "-o"
        - "opt0"
