Action Summary

This GitHub Action automates testing Bash scripts using the bashunit framework, which provides a simple and fast way to write tests. It includes various assertions and features such as spies, mocks, data providers, snapshots, and more, making it easy to test complex Bash scripts efficiently.

What’s Changed

⚠️ Upgrade note

bashunit empty_dir/ — a path that exists but holds no test files — used to exit 0 while silently running BASHUNIT_DEFAULT_PATH instead. It now reports No tests found and exits 1.

If a pipeline passes a path that is sometimes empty, its build was green over a suite it never asked for, and it will go red on upgrade. Where the empty run is deliberate — a sharded CI matrix, a changed-files run — use the new flag:

bashunit --pass-with-no-tests --shard 4/4 tests/

Added

  • --pass-with-no-tests exits 0 when a run selects no tests. The run still reports No tests found; only the verdict changes. It does not excuse a path that is not on disk. Same flag, same spelling, as jest, vitest, Playwright and Cypress (#1263)
  • --list-tags prints the tags of the selected files, one per line, sorted and deduplicated, and runs nothing (#1265)

Changed

  • A test or bench path that does not exist is named and refused before the run starts, instead of the No tests found / No benchmarks found an empty selection gives. Every genuinely-empty case keeps that message (#1263)
  • A path argument that selects nothing no longer falls back to BASHUNIT_DEFAULT_PATH (#1263)
  • --snapshot-report-unused and --snapshot-prune now report a snapshot whose test file was deleted or renamed — the most common way one is orphaned. This widens what --snapshot-prune deletes (#1194)
  • A --tag matching nothing now names the tags the run saw (#1265)
  • Performance: a sequential run is about 3.9ms faster per test file, and the total runtime costs one fork and one subshell less (#1271)
  • Performance: per-test cleanup no longer reads the whole of BASHUNIT_TEMP_DIR — a 100-test file went from 978ms to 542ms against 5000 leftovers (#1269)

Fixed

  • A sequential run no longer leaks a file descriptor per test file. At the limit it stopped executing tests and reported risky while still exiting 0 (#1271)
  • Time taken no longer reports 0ms, or a negative duration, for a runtime it could not measure (#1271)
  • A run using --test-timeout no longer leaves its watchdog holding the caller’s captured output for the rest of the timeout budget (#1137)
  • A test that both fails an assertion and hits a shell error reports the diagnostic alone (#1267)
  • --list under --parallel no longer prints No tests found in the middle of the ids (#1007)
