Some inspiration, what sort of helpers can be for shell see LTP shell API [1]. These helpers tests help tests to be short, readable and with unified output. (I like library variables [2] which are self describing and making test even shorter), setup and cleanup functions called automatically, ... The same applies for C API [3] (e.g. SAFE_*() helpers for handling errors, ...). I wonder if there is even any interest of having any sort of helpers or even framework for shell, when so far there was nothing. > thanks, > -- Shuah Kind regards, Petr [1] https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/wiki/Test-Writing-Guidelines#23-writing-a-testcase-in-shell [2] https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/wiki/Test-Writing-Guidelines#232-library-variables [3] https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/wiki/Test-Writing-Guidelines#22-writing-a-test-in-c
