Allow using status as a modifier for the function subject? about shellspec HOT 3 CLOSED

I've created issue #72 for Assert.

The status of function assert_abc should be success

is possible, But I want to distinguish it from The "status" should and if we implement The status of function, we will want The stdout of function or The stderr of function. I want to avoid it.

The result of 'assert_abc()' should be successful

Oh, be successful... English is difficult for me. 😟

If there is no strong opposition, I will implement be successful. Or accept PR.

from shellspec.

Thanks for the good suggestions.

Actually, you should be able to do the same with

The result of function assert_abc should be defined
The result of 'assert_abc()' should be defined # shorthand

Because if the function returns non-zero, the stdout will be undefined (internally, unset SHELLSPEC_SUBJECT). However, I don't think the meaning is clear as a sentence.

How about this instead?

The result of 'assert_abc()' should succeeded

Or is there a better suggestion?

BTW, I am thinking of introducing Assert as another way. I will create issue later.

Assert func arg1 arg2 arg3

from shellspec.

well, I think

The status of function assert_abc should be success

is better :)

But, if that's not possible, then maybe:

The result of 'assert_abc()' should be successful

?
But if you have Assert then that would be the best solution for me.
