NAME¶
shunit2 - A unit test framework for shell scripts
SYNOPSIS¶
shunit2 unitfile
DESCRIPTION¶
shUnit2 is a xUnit unit test framework for Bourne based shell scripts, and it is
designed to work in a similar manner to JUnit, PyUnit, etc.. If you have ever
had the desire to write a unit test for a shell script, shUnit2 can do the
job.
You can either run
shunit2 directly from the commandline and specify the
unit file or directly source the
shunit2 executable.
If you directly execute
shunit2 and
don’t specify a unitfile
shunit2 assumes a empty testfile and will return without an error message.
EXAMPLE¶
Simple script to test if 1 equals 1
#! /bin/sh
testEquality()
{
assertEquals 1 1
}
# load shunit2
. shunit2
Execute shUnit2 unit tests directly from the commandline
shunit2 /path/to/unit/file
OPTIONS¶
shunit2 does not support any commandline options at all. You can either
source shunit2 to execute your unit tests or directly run shunit2 as a
commandline script.
