BATS helpers

Helpers and assertions for BATS testing.
Documentation

Features

• Assertions
• Data provider
• Helpers
• Mocking
• Step runner

Installation

npm install -D bats-helpers@npm:@drevops/bats-helpers

Usage

1. Create a _loader.bash file next to your BATS tests with content:

   export BATS_LIB_PATH="${BATS_TEST_DIRNAME}/../node_modules"
   bats_load_library bats-helpers

2. Use load _loader.bash in every BATS file:

   #!/usr/bin/env bats
   load _loader
   
   @test "My test" {
     run ls
     assert_success
   }

Why not bats-assert, bats-file, bats-support

The goal is to merge this package with bats-assert.

However:

1. This package has more assertions and tests. They were battle-tested on many projects and were waiting for BATS to provide support for library functionality to be extracted into a standalone package.
2. Those packages have outdated version constraints which leads to conflicts.

Acknowledgments

The mocking functionality is based on the bats-mock project. A special thank you to the contributors for their original work.
