Can Bats tests be integrated into GitHub Actions?

Yes, Bats is highly compatible with CI/CD. This skill includes specific workflow configurations to run your shell tests automatically on every push or pull request.

How do I manage temporary files during shell testing?

The skill demonstrates setup and teardown patterns using 'mktemp' to create isolated environments for each test, ensuring that file operations don't leak between test cases.

Does this skill cover testing for different shell dialects?

Absolutely. It provides patterns to validate that your scripts work consistently across Bash, POSIX-compliant sh, and Dash environments.

What is Bats (Bash Automated Testing System)?

Bats is a TAP-compliant testing framework for Bash that provides a simple way to verify that shell scripts behave as expected, using a natural syntax similar to other unit testing libraries.

How do I mock external commands in shell tests?

This skill provides patterns for mocking using function exports and command stubbing, where a temporary directory containing mock scripts is added to the system PATH during the test run.

Seguridad y Pruebas

Implements comprehensive unit testing for shell scripts using the Bash Automated Testing System (Bats) framework.

Acerca de

Master the Bash Automated Testing System (Bats) to ensure your shell scripts are robust, portable, and production-ready. This skill provides detailed implementation patterns for unit testing, test-driven development (TDD), mocking external commands, and managing complex test fixtures. It is an essential resource for developers looking to build maintainable shell utilities and reliable CI/CD pipelines by validating script behavior across multiple shell dialects, error conditions, and edge cases.
