A single test file for Bourne-based shell scripts using the shunit2 test framework.
To use, add tests to your file per https://github.com/kward/shunit2/. Specify the shell to run with by either setting the field `shell
` or including a shebang. To test the same file with multiple shells, create multiple `shunit2_tests
` targets, one for each shell.
Pants will automatically download the `shunit2
` bash script and add `source ./shunit2
` to your test for you. If you already have `source ./shunit2
`, Pants will overwrite it to use the correct relative path.
## <code>dependencies</code>
<span style="color: purple">type: <code>Iterable[str] | None</code></span> <span style="color: green">default: <code>None</code></span>
Addresses to other targets that this target depends on, e.g. ['helloworld/subdir:lib'].
Alternatively, you may include file names. Pants will find which target owns that file, and create a new target from that which only includes the file in its `sources
` field. For files relative to the current BUILD file, prefix with `./
`; otherwise, put the full path, e.g. ['./sibling.txt', 'resources/demo.json'].
You may exclude dependencies by prefixing with `!
`, e.g. `['!helloworld/subdir:lib', '!./sibling.txt']
`. Ignores are intended for false positives with dependency inference; otherwise, simply leave off the dependency from the BUILD file.
## <code>description</code>
<span style="color: purple">type: <code>str | None</code></span> <span style="color: green">default: <code>None</code></span>
A human-readable description of the target.
Use `./pants list --documented ::
` to see all targets with descriptions.
## <code>runtime_package_dependencies</code>
<span style="color: purple">type: <code>Iterable[str] | None</code></span> <span style="color: green">default: <code>None</code></span>
Addresses to targets that can be built with the `./pants package
` goal and whose resulting artifacts should be included in the test run.
Pants will build the artifacts as if you had run `./pants package
`. It will include the results in your test's chroot, using the same name they would normally have, but without the `--distdir
` prefix (e.g. `dist/
`).
You can include anything that can be built by `./pants package
`, e.g. a `pex_binary
`, `python_awslambda
`, or an `archive
`.
## <code>shell</code>
<span style="color: purple">type: <code>'bash' | 'dash' | 'ksh' | 'pdksh' | 'sh' | 'zsh' | None</code></span> <span style="color: green">default: <code>None</code></span>
Which shell to run the tests with. If unspecified, Pants will look for a shebang line.
## <code>skip_shellcheck</code>
<span style="color: purple">type: <code>bool</code></span> <span style="color: green">default: <code>False</code></span>
If true, don't run Shellcheck on this target's code.
## <code>skip_shfmt</code>
<span style="color: purple">type: <code>bool</code></span> <span style="color: green">default: <code>False</code></span>
If true, don't run shfmt on this target's code.
## <code>source</code>
<span style="color: purple">type: <code>str</code></span> <span style="color: green">required</span>
A single file that belongs to this target.
Path is relative to the BUILD file's directory, e.g. `source='example.ext'
`.
## <code>tags</code>
<span style="color: purple">type: <code>Iterable[str] | None</code></span> <span style="color: green">default: <code>None</code></span>
Arbitrary strings to describe a target.
For example, you may tag some test targets with 'integration_test' so that you could run `./pants --tag='integration_test' test ::
` to only run on targets with that tag.
## <code>timeout</code>
<span style="color: purple">type: <code>int | None</code></span> <span style="color: green">default: <code>None</code></span>
A timeout (in seconds) used by each test file belonging to this target. If unset, the test will never time out.
