Which testing frameworks are supported by this skill?

This skill provides specific patterns and templates for Jest (Node.js) and pytest with Click.testing.CliRunner (Python).

Can I test interactive CLI prompts with these patterns?

Yes, the skill includes patterns for simulating user input and mocking responses for interactive prompts in both Python and Node.js environments.

How does it handle exit code validation?

It provides a mapping of standard exit codes (0 for success, 1 for general errors, 127 for command not found, etc.) and helper functions to verify that your CLI returns the correct code for every scenario.

Are there templates for CI/CD integration?

Yes, the skill includes shell scripts for running CLI tests with coverage and validating thresholds, making it easy to integrate into CI/CD pipelines.

安全与测试

Standardizes CLI application testing across Node.js and Python using industry-standard frameworks and best practices.

关于

CLI Testing Patterns provides expert guidance and implementation strategies for testing command-line interfaces, specifically targeting Jest for Node.js and pytest for Python projects. This skill offers a structured approach to validating exit codes, capturing and verifying output (stdout/stderr), simulating interactive user input, and ensuring robust error management. By providing reusable templates and proven methodologies, it enables developers to build reliable, production-grade CLI utilities with comprehensive test coverage and integration-ready scripts.
