mstester (2022 subject)

Welcome to the minishell tester, this script will make you test your minishell in a very fast and comprehensive manner with the standard mode, or in a more dynamic and experimental way, thanks to the interactive mode.

Run

Using tests file:

./tester.py [-oexd] [tests_file] [file_line]

tests_file:    Path to the text file containing the tests, one per line (default: "./mstester_2022/tests")
file_line:     Tests only the specified line of the file specified byt file path [optional]

Interactive mode:

./tester.py -i [-oexd]

Flags (optional)

-h:          Display help text
-i:          Interactive mode
-o:          Show stdout
-e:          Show stderr
-d:          Print `diff -u` between outputs
-x `path`:   Path to your minishell executable

Troubleshooting

Make sure you have set the global variable rl_outstream = stderr; to set the output of readline to the stderr as bash does, you can find more informations here

If the script reports any error, make sure you're using the -x path flag and you're specifying the tests_file

Tests file

Inside the tests file ';' represents '\n', it's used to execute multiple commands in the same test

The tests file is a crowdsourced collection of command to challenge your minishell, if you have some ideas about what to add feel free to create a pull request
