sbt

The Simple Binary Tester.

Each test has a shell command, a name and a list of conditions. sbt runs the shell command and tests the conditions on it's output. If one condition returns false, the test is considered to be a failure otherwise the test passes.

Syntax

The syntax generally looks like this

("test_name", "command arg0 arg1 argn") should {condition_name(arg0, arg1, argn) condition_name()}

a script can have multiple tests. example:

("breaks", "echo -n does this test work") should {contain("byeeeee") contain("nope")}
("works", "echo -n does this test work") should {
	contain("does")
	contain("work")
}

The script above contains two tests one that breaks and one that works. The output should be something like

Test 'breaks' failed with output 'does this test work'
Test 'works' passed
