0.3.0

[0.3.0] - 2026-01-12

Added

• Line continuation support in mock shell for recipes with backslash line breaks
• Cross-platform normalization of line continuations (handles differences between macOS and Ubuntu)

Changed

• Mock shell implementation now uses file-based approach instead of inline shell script
• Mock shell script files are created via Make pattern rule with atomic writes for parallel safety
• Consolidated mock shell script generation into single printf statement for clarity

Fixed

• Mock shell now correctly handles line continuations by normalizing backslash-space sequences
• Cross-platform compatibility between macOS and Ubuntu for mock shell execution
• Mock shell script files are created atomically to prevent race conditions in parallel test execution
• Proper quote escaping in generated bash scripts for the mock shell

0.2.0: Merge pull request #10 from asikros/feature/documentation-review

[0.2.0] - 2026-01-11

Added

• Mock shell testing framework (bowerbird-mock.mk) for testing Make recipes without
  executing commands
• bowerbird::test::add-mock-test macro for creating mock shell tests
• bowerbird::test::compare-file-content-from-var macro for comparing file contents
  against Make variable values in eval contexts
• bowerbird::test::find-test-files macro with multiple paths and patterns support
• bowerbird::test::find-test-targets macro with pattern parameter support
• bowerbird::test::find-cached-test-results-failed macro for finding failed tests
• Command-line flags for test execution control:
  • --bowerbird-fail-fast to stop on first failure
  • --bowerbird-fail-first to run previously failed tests first
  • --bowerbird-suppress-warnings to suppress discovery warnings
• Comprehensive test coverage (230 tests total, up from 226)
• Pattern-rule optimization for test suite generation (99.3% smaller generated files)
• Support for multiple test file paths in bowerbird::test::suite macro
• Configuration fingerprint to prevent suite redefinition with different settings

Changed

• BREAKING: Replaced bowerbird::test::pattern-test-files and
  bowerbird::test::pattern-test-targets macros with configuration variables:
  • bowerbird-test.config.file-patterns (default: test*.mk)
  • bowerbird-test.config.target-patterns (default: test*)
• BREAKING: Renamed constants from BOWERBIRD_COMMA and BOWERBIRD_NEWLINE to
  bowerbird::test::COMMA and bowerbird::test::NEWLINE using define blocks
• Converted bowerbird-test.config.fail-exit-code to constant
  bowerbird-test.constant.fail-exit-code with value 1
• Renamed config variables to option variables for command-line override support:
  • bowerbird-test.option.fail-fast
  • bowerbird-test.option.fail-first
  • bowerbird-test.option.suppress-warnings
• Test suite generation now uses single pattern rule instead of explicit targets per
  test (33x faster generation, from ~15s to ~0.47s)
• Split monolithic test-mock.mk into focused files:
  • test-mock-basic.mk (core functionality)
  • test-mock-output.mk (output capture and formatting)
  • test-mock-variables.mk (variable expansion and special characters)
• Reorganized flag definitions in bowerbird-suite.mk for better readability
• Documentation moved to separate make-bowerbird-docs repository
• Simplified docstring format (removed <arg> angle brackets)
• Alphabetized macros in source files for better organization
• Suite macro now uses bowerbird::test::find-test-files and
  bowerbird::test::find-test-targets macros (reduced duplication)
• Sorted all configuration, option, and constant definitions alphabetically
• Prefer file blanking (: >) over removal (rm -f) for files being recreated
• Use single printf command instead of multiple echo commands for generation

Deprecated

• Old pattern configuration macros removed (use config variables instead)

Fixed

• Dollar sign escaping in mock test expected output ($$HOME → $HOME)
• Escaping issues in pattern rule recipes for $(pgrep) commands
• Path extraction in find-cached-test-results using basename(notdir) for nested
  directories
• Removed silent skips when suite variables already defined (ensures predictable
  behavior)
• Removed unnecessary mkdir commands from tests that don't create files
• Fixed Make 3.81 compatibility issues with pattern rules and complex recipes
• Error suppression in find commands with 2>/dev/null
• Prevented duplicate test target generation when target-specific variables used
