Does this skill help with cross-shell compatibility?

Yes, it includes specific patterns to ensure your scripts function correctly across different shell dialects including Bash, SH, and Dash.

How do I handle temporary files in my tests?

The skill demonstrates standard setup and teardown patterns that use mktemp to create isolated environments for each test, ensuring automatic cleanup of resources.

Can I mock external commands like curl or git?

Absolutely. This skill provides detailed patterns for function mocking and command stubbing to isolate your script from external system dependencies during testing.

Is this suitable for CI/CD pipelines?

Yes, it includes ready-to-use configurations for integrating Bats tests into GitHub Actions and Makefiles, supporting TAP output for easy reporting.

What is the Bats framework in shell scripting?

Bats (Bash Automated Testing System) is a TAP-compliant testing framework that allows you to write tests for shell scripts using a simple, natural syntax similar to modern unit testing frameworks.

セキュリティとテスト

Streamlines the creation of comprehensive unit tests for shell scripts using the Bash Automated Testing System (Bats).

概要

This skill provides specialized guidance for implementing robust, production-grade testing for shell scripts using the Bats framework. It empowers developers to apply Test-Driven Development (TDD) to shell utilities through detailed patterns for exit code assertions, output verification, and file system validation. From basic unit tests to complex mocking of external dependencies and cross-shell compatibility checks, this skill ensures that infrastructure scripts and DevOps tools remain reliable and maintainable across diverse environments and CI/CD pipelines.
