How do I handle temporary files during testing?

The skill demonstrates setup and teardown patterns to create unique temporary directories for each test, ensuring a clean environment and automatic resource cleanup.

How do I mock external commands in Bats?

This skill provides patterns for command stubbing by manipulating the PATH environment variable and creating temporary executable files to simulate external tool behavior.

Can I test scripts across different shell dialects?

Yes, this skill includes specific patterns for validating script behavior across Bash, Sh, and Dash to ensure cross-shell compatibility and portability.

What is Bats in shell scripting?

Bats (Bash Automated Testing System) is a TAP-compliant testing framework that allows you to write simple, descriptive tests for your shell scripts using standard Bash syntax.

Is Bats compatible with modern CI/CD platforms?

Absolutely. The skill includes configuration examples for running Bats tests within CI/CD environments like GitHub Actions, utilizing TAP reporters for clear output.
