ECMAScript 2025 Finalized with Iterator Helpers, Set Methods, RegExp.escape, and More
ECMAScript 2025 introduces Iterator Helpers, Set methods, JSON modules, and more in its latest spec update approved by Ecma in June 2025.
git.lenzplace.org/lenzj/testcli
Package testcli is a golang helper utility for testing command line applications (CLI) using the standard go testing framework.
Tests are created by populating a T structure and then passing it to the Run function. The T structure must contain at a minimum the command to be executed. The remaining items within the T structure are optional and have reasonable defaults in typical use cases.
For example within a "foo_test.go" file:
func TestFooVersion(t *testing.T) {
clt := testcli.T{
Cmd: exec.Cmd{
Path: "./foo",
Args: []string{"foo", "-v"},
},
TStdout: `^foo 1.7.2\n$`,
}
testcli.Run(t, clt)
}
func TestFooBadOption(t *testing.T) {
clt := testcli.T{
Cmd: exec.Cmd{
Path: "./foo",
Args: []string{"foo", "-z"},
},
TStderr: `(?m)^flag provided but not defined: -z$.*$`,
TExit: 2,
}
testcli.Run(t, clt)
}
A full example demonstrating additional ways to use testcli is contained within the "cmd" folder of this package.
func Run(t *testing.T, clt T)
Run executes a single command line test.
type FT struct {
Path string // Path to file
TContent string // Regex to check against file contents
}
FT defines a file path and regex to check against the file contents.
type T struct {
Cmd exec.Cmd // The command line details to execute
TStdout string // Regex to check against stdout
TStderr string // Regex to check against stderr
TFiles []FT // An optional array of output files to check
TExit int // The expected exit code
}
T defines an individual command line test case.
$ cd cmd
$ make check
