expect - a simple test method for bash scripts with valid TAP v13 output

install

clone this repo and run make install (you may need to sudo that)

example

here's an example test file. let's say you named it under test/random_tests:

expect "the file to exist" $(test -f Makefile)
expect "the file to not exist" $(test ! -f Makefile.win)
expect "this to exit with 0" $(exit 0)
expect "output to do something" $(echo hi)

running tests

to run the above example, just execute expect test/random_tests

output

default output is not TAP. to get tap output pass a -o tap argument when running your tests: expect test/random_tests -o tap
