Simple library for doing basic command line interface testing.
Can potentially be used from a script (these SBCL CLI options work pretty well for that:
sbcl --noinform --disable-debugger --noprint --load script.lisp).
If using it in a script one can either:
- Use it directly with
(load (compile-file "/path/to/cli-tester.lisp" :print nil)) - Or if quicklisp is installed clone the repo into ~/quicklisp/local-projects and start the script with (ql:quickload :cli-tester :silent t)
Then specify the program for testing:
(register-program "path/to/executable")Define tests with:
(deftest :name "testname" :args '(list of arguments) :expected-result "result")When all the tests are defined run them with:
(run-tests)For example testing echo would look like:
(cli-tester:register-program "/usr/bin/echo")
(cli-tester:deftest :name "Passing test" :args "it's working" :expected-result "it's working")
(cli-tester:run-tests)
