Bats Testing Patterns

Comprehensive guidance for writing comprehensive unit tests for shell scripts using Bats (Bash Automated Testing System), including test patterns, fixtures, and best practices for production-grade shell testing.

Use this skill when

  • •Writing unit tests for shell scripts
  • •Implementing TDD for scripts
  • •Setting up automated testing in CI/CD pipelines
  • •Testing edge cases and error conditions
  • •Validating behavior across shell environments

Do not use this skill when

  • •The project does not use shell scripts
  • •You need integration tests beyond shell behavior
  • •The goal is only linting or formatting

Instructions

  • •Confirm shell dialects and supported environments.
  • •Set up a test structure with helpers and fixtures.
  • •Write tests for exit codes, output, and side effects.
  • •Add setup/teardown and run tests in CI.
  • •If detailed examples are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md.
