Playing with BATS and building out a Bash script

BATS practice

This repo will show the progression of building up a Bash script using BATS to ensure things work as desired and refactoring doesn't cause changes in behavior.

Running the tests

git clone <this_repo>
git submodule update --init --recursive
./bats-test.sh

Developing new features/tests

# Install `entr` package to monitor for file changes
git clone <this_repo>
git submodule update --init --recursive
./bats-dev.sh

Making your own practice repo

mkdir ~/bats-practice
cd ~/bats-practice
git init
mkdir -p test/libs
git submodule init https://github.com/bats-core/bats-core  test/lib/bats
git submodule init https://github.com/ztombol/bats-support test/lib/bats-support
git submodule init https://github.com/ztombol/bats-assert test/lib/bats-assert
git submodule init https://github.com/ztombol/bats-file test/lib/bats-file

This post was a good starter to using BATS with practical examples, though it doesn't have the more recently updated bats-core instead of sstephenson/bats. https://medium.com/@pimterry/testing-your-shell-scripts-with-bats-abfca9bdc5b9
