Bats Testing Patterns
This one's for anyone writing shell scripts that need proper testing. It covers Bats (Bash Automated Testing System) with patterns for unit testing your bash code, including how to test exit codes, output, and side effects. You get guidance on test structure, fixtures, setup and teardown hooks, and integrating tests into CI/CD. It's focused on TDD for shell utilities and catching edge cases before they hit production. The scope is narrow: if you're not testing shell scripts specifically, this isn't it. Includes an implementation playbook with detailed examples when you need to go deeper than the basics.

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
