tbd

Test your programs.

A simple program for testing programs, with minimal syntax. It runs atop bash, so you can use all of it.

Usage.

Write your tests in a file called testfile and run tbd in the same directory where your testfile is.

 $ pwd
/home/me/dev/tbd
 $ ls
LICENSE  README.md  tbd  testfile
 $ tbd
- true
- false
 ^ fail ($? = 1).
- return 4
 ^ fail ($? = 4).
- echo okay
- echo your home is at /home/me.

tbd exports just one function: -, which runs a test:

- '<cmd> [args]'

By default, tbd will continue running tests when it finds an error. If want it to abort on error, just set the variable TBD_ERREXIT to any non-empty value.

This is how a real testfile could look like:

- 'echo "Hi there!"'
- 'false'       # This error will not result in abortion.

TBD_ERREXIT=1   # Errors will now result on abortion.
- 'false'       # tbd exits.
- 'echo "This will not be printed."'
