bats

Bash Automated Testing System: a TAP (https://testanything.org/) compliant testing framework for Bash. More information: https://bats-core.readthedocs.io/en/stable/usage.html.

  • Run a BATS test script and output results in the [t]AP (Test Anything Protocol) format:

bats --tap path/to/test.bats

  • [c]ount test cases of a test script without running any tests:

bats --count path/to/test.bats

  • Run BATS test cases [r]ecursively (files with a .bats extension):

bats --recursive path/to/directory

  • Output results in a specific [F]ormat:

bats --formatter pretty|tap|tap13|junit path/to/test.bats

  • Add [T]iming information to tests:

bats --timing path/to/test.bats

  • Run specific number of [j]obs in parallel (requires GNU parallel to be installed):

bats --jobs number path/to/test.bats
