MinishellTesting - Updated Version

This repository contains an updated version of the MinishellTesting framework originally created by paulogarithm. Special thanks to the original author for providing a solid foundation for these tests.

Updates in This Version

• Additional tests covering new cases.
• Integration with GitHub Actions for automated testing.

How to get it ?

Clone this repo in your minishell folder by using this command :
git clone git@github.com:Haloys/MinishellTesting.git

You should now have something like this

[minishell] $ ls
lib  Makefile  src

[minishell] $ git clone git@github.com:Haloys/MinishellTesting.git
...

[minishell] $ ls
lib  Makefile  MinishellTesting  src

How does it works ?

To run the tests, simply do ./MinishellTesting/run.

To made your own test, you can configure the commands.txt's file in the config folder.
./MinishellTesting/config/commands.txt

How can i code new tests

Basics

Basically, your commands.txt's file should look like this :

:: This is a comment

>>> Cathegory

> Test 1
Command

> Test 2
Command

>>> End

The way the line will be executed is as follow :
Command | Terminal

Terminal is replaced by tcsh and ./mysh.
Then the result of both function are compared.

After all the tests are passed, you get a resume of all cathegories and an overall one.

75%  [===============>    ] Cathegory 1
25%  [=====>              ] Cathegory 2

50%  [==========>         ] Overall

Sub-commands

You can also add sub-commands to your tests.

Basically, it will execute this command after the pipe but before the terminal command :
Command | Subcommand Terminal

To add them in your test, you can use the $ sign followed by a space like this in your commands.txt's file.

> Test
$ Subcommand
Command

Updates in This Version

To automate testing with GitHub Actions, you simply need to copy the minishell_test.yml file provided at the root of this repository into the .github/workflows directory of your own Minishell project. This allows for automatic testing to be set up with minimal effort.

If the .github/workflows directory does not exist in your project, you'll need to create it.

(feel free to customize the EXECUTABLE and workflow name as needed):

Replace https://github.com/Haloys/MinishellTesting.git with your own fork URL if you've made further customizations.
