The entry point 'cmdtest_in_dir' now accepts and passes on arguments that optionally specifies which tests to be run. This can be done on file level, class level and method level. As the list of optional named arguments is quite long, they are now keyword arguments.
Cmdtest - a program for testing executable programs =================================================== Cmdtest_ is a program to test executable programs. Tests are written in an "xunit style", using assertions about created files, content of standard output, exit code, etc. Cmdtest_ is written in Ruby. It consists of a main program and a number of library files. Documentation ------------- A `Cmdtest User Guide`_ is available. It is generated from the file ``cmdtest.txt`` which is written in reStructuredText_ format. There is also an ``examples`` directory with some real-world examples of using Cmdtest_. Installation ------------ No installation is needed to use Cmdtest_. The file ``cmdtest.rb`` can be executed directly from where it is checked out or unpacked. But the program can also be installed. Use the following command:: $ git clone https://bitbucket.org/holmberg556/cmdtest.git $ cd cmdtest $ ruby setup.rb # sudo may be needed For details about options to ``setup.rb`` use ``ruby setup.rb --help`` or see <http://i.loveruby.net/en/projects/setup/doc/usage.html>. License ------- Cmdtest_ is released under the GNU General Public License version 3. For details see the file ``COPYING.txt`` in the same directory as this file. History ------- I got the idea to create Cmdtest_ when I was using and making changes to Cons_, the make-replacement written in Perl. The program had tests written using the Perl module Test::Cmd. Later I developed other programs that also needed some kind of "unit tests" for the executables. I looked for existing tools but could not find anything that I was completely comfortable with. So I started to develop my own tool, and the result was Cmdtest_.
