Is this compatible with modern CI/CD pipelines?

Absolutely. It provides configuration examples for GitHub Actions and demonstrates how to output TAP results that are easily readable by most CI platforms.

How does it handle temporary test files?

The skill emphasizes best practices for test isolation, using setup and teardown hooks to create and automatically clean up temporary directories and data fixtures.

Can I mock external commands with this skill?

Yes, this skill includes specific patterns for function-based mocking and directory-based command stubbing to isolate your scripts from external dependencies during testing.

Bats (Bash Automated Testing System) is a TAP-compliant testing framework that provides a simple way to verify the behavior of shell scripts using natural syntax and assertion helpers.

安全与测试

Implements comprehensive unit tests and automated test suites for shell scripts using the Bash Automated Testing System (Bats).

关于

This skill provides a specialized framework for creating production-grade tests for shell scripts. It equips users with advanced patterns for status code validation, output matching, file system assertions, and mocking external dependencies. Whether you are building simple CLI utilities or complex CI/CD pipeline scripts, this skill ensures your shell code is reliable, maintainable, and robust against edge cases by providing structured guidance on setup, teardown, and fixture management.
