suite

Select the test suites/group to run.

It tries to be smart and autocomplete the suite name,

e.g $ minishell_test int -> $ minishell_test preprocess/interpolation.

See --list to list the available suites.

-h, --help

Print usage and exit.

-p <PATH>, --path <PATH>

Path to the minishell directory, defaults to the current directory.

-l, --list

Print available test suites

$ minishell_test --list
Groups:
 - builtin
 - path
 - flow
 - cmd
 - misc
 - preprocess
The available suites are:
 - path/path ................... searching a command in the path tests
 - path/path_variable .......... $PATH environment variable tests
 - cmd/redirection ............. append/write/read redirections
 - cmd/cmd ..................... long cmd, cmd not found tests
 - cmd/status .................. $? tests
 - cmd/cmd_path ................ cmd is a relative path, permissions on executable
 - flow/end .................... `;` tests
 - flow/pipe ................... `|` tests
 - flow/and .................... `&&` tests
 - flow/or ..................... `||` tests
 - flow/parenthesis ............ `(`, `)` tests
 - flow/syntax_error ........... separator syntax error test
 - flow/syntax_error_bonus ..... separator syntax error bonus test
 - builtin/echo ................ echo builtin tests
 - builtin/export .............. export builtin tests
 - builtin/cd .................. cd builtin tests
 - builtin/unset ............... unset builtin tests
 - builtin/pwd ................. pwd builtin tests
 - builtin/env ................. env builtin tests
 - builtin/exit ................ exit builtin tests
 - misc/shlvl .................. test for the SHLVL variable
 - misc/lastcmd ................ test for $_, the last executed command
 - preprocess/quote ............ double and single quote test, escape in quotes, quote missmatch
 - preprocess/interpolation .... environment variable interpolation tests, valid name, escape in variable
 - preprocess/escape ........... escape test, in command, with space, before quote
 - preprocess/spaces ........... field splitting with spaces and tabs

-t <COMMAND>, --try <COMMAND>

Run a custom command like the test would,

the only environment variable passed to your executable are TERM and PATH.

-g, --pager

After running the test, display the result in a pager of your choice, see pager configuration.

Memory Leaks

-k, --check-leaks

Runs valgrind on tests to check for memory leaks.

(disable the usual comparison with the Reference Shell)

Warning

Running valgrind on each tests may take a while especially if your minishell isn’t correctly optimized,

See the leaks timeout configuration variable to change the leak tests timeout.

-r <BEGIN> <END>, --range <BEGIN> <END>

Only run the test in the selected range,

<BEGIN> and <END> must be test indices.

--show-range

Show the tests indices.

Both --check-leaks and --range imply this option.

-x, --exit-first

Immediately stops when a test fails.
