# test-runner.sh
Simple helper script to easily run tests for shell scripts or other languages.
## Test Files
For your test files to compatible with test-runner.sh they need to adhere to
three rules:
1. Be executable (`chmod +x`), and assume it is being executed from within the
directory it resides in.
2. Have a file name matching `test/**/*.test.sh` (configurable).
3. Return a non-zero exit status on failure, and a `0` exit status on success.
Test frameworks, helpers, libraries or other things is up to the test writer,
and not something that test-runner.sh cares about.
## Setup
If you've already got a Makefile in your project, you could simply do
something like the following:
```Makefile
test: test-runner.sh
./test-runner.sh
clean: remove-test-runner.sh
test-runner.sh:
test -f "test-runner.sh" || \
echo "fetching test-runner.sh..." && \
curl -s -L -o test-runner.sh \
https://github.com/jimeh/test-runner.sh/raw/master/test-runner.sh && \
chmod +x test-runner.sh
remove-test-runner.sh:
( \
test -f "test-runner.sh" && rm "test-runner.sh" && \
echo "removed test-runner.sh"\
) || exit 0
update-test-runner.sh: remove-test-runner.sh test-runner.sh
```
**Note:** To version lock `test-runner.sh` you will want to fetch it from a
specific release tag instead of the master branch.
## Usage
Without any arguments the `test` directory will be recursively searched for
any files who's filename ends in `.test.sh` and executed without any
arguments.
To run specific test files, simply pass them in as arguments:
./test-runner.sh test/foo.test.sh test/bar.test.sh
To pass custom arguments to test files, pass `--` followed by your arguments:
./test-runner.sh test/foo.test.sh test/bar.test.sh -- --verbose
This will execute `./foo.test.sh --verbose` and `./bar.test.sh --verbose` from
withing the `test` directory.
And to pass custom arguments too all test files:
./test-runner.sh -- --verbose
## Configuration
Configuration is done via environment variables:
- `TEST_DIR`: Name of directory to recursively look for test files
in. (default: `test`)
- `TEST_RUNNER_PATTERN`: Test files' file name must end in specified
pattern. (default: `.test.sh`)
## Real-World Examples
- [stub.sh](https://github.com/jimeh/stub.sh) - Helpers for bash script
testing to stub/fake binaries and functions. Includes support for validating
number of stub calls, and/or if stub has been called with specific
arguments.
