BashTest is a UNIX command-line tool for the testing bash/shell utilites.

This is a simplest way to write simple bash tests.

requirements: Python2 or Python3

keywords: bash unittest, unittesting, bash tesing, sh unit testing

bashtest is on PyPI, so simply run:

pip install bashtest

or :

easy_install bashtest

to have it installed in your environment.

For installing from source, clone the repo and run:

python setup.py install

If you don`t have pip you can install it

You have a command line util or bash/sh script and you want to test it.

For example, we want to test ls util.

All of we need is to create text file with execution log.

./test_ls.bashtest :

$ ls ./testsuit/list-directory
file1
file2.txt
file3.py
file4.sh

Run this tests :

$ bashtest test_ls.bashtest
1 items passed all tests:
   1 tests in test_ls.bashtest
1 tests in 1 items.
1 passed and 0 failed.
Test passed.

You have a some open source project like this. And of course, as in any good open source project, you have examples. You can automatically check this examples. Just add bashtest README.rst in your CI tests.

You can finde some examples in this project. Please check test_*.bashtest files
