Bashtest

A very simple bash script to run tests written in bash.

Usage

$ bastest /path/to/project/

Tests should be located in a directory named test and the file they are written in should start with the work "test".

Tests should be implemented as functions that start with the string test_ and that return 0 when they succeed and 1 when they fail.

Example:

consider this project. there are some silly tests in the test folder.

I you run

$ bashtest

in this folder you'll see something like this

test_some_things.sh
test_echo_to_file ✔
test_nothing_useful ✘
========================
This text will be red
========================
test_system_type.sh
test_linux_users_only ✘
========================
Oh no! You're not on linux!
========================
test_mac_users_only ✔

And hopefully you'll have colors too!
