Pipex Tester

This repo provides test scripts for your pipex project @42School.

Note that the tester doesn't check the norm. The purpose of this repo is to be more effective in evaluation, not to botch it up.

Furthermore, the tester is absolutely not official and many tests may be irrelevant. It is intended for helping you design your project. Please do not use it as an absolute reference during defense.

Installation

First things first, clone this repo (the preferred path is alongside the pipex's directory).

git clone https://github.com/vfurmane/pipex-tester

Usage

./run.sh [-cltu] [tests_no]...

Once the installation is done, cd into the tester's directory, and run the ./run.sh script. You should be prompted some configuration questions. If you have answered any of them incorrectly, you can execute ./run.sh -c or ./run.sh --config to be prompted the questions again.

To stop the tester earlier, you can press Ctrl-C, and it will show you your grade at that moment.

The logs are stored in the outs directory. You'll find three types of file:

• test-xx.txt: this is the outfile of pipex.
• test-xx-original.txt: this is the outfile we would get with bash.
• test-xx-tty.txt: this is what your program writes (stdout and stderr)
• test-xx-exit.txt: this is the exit code of your program

You may find files like that test-xx.x.txt. These are log files for command executed twice during the same test.

There is a man page for the tester:

man ./man/man1/pipex-tester.1
