shUnit2 2.1.7 Release Notes

This release contains bug fixes and enhancements. It is the first release since moving to GitHub. Users can now clone the latest version at any time.

See the CHANGES-2.1.md file for a full list of changes.

New Features

Colorized output, based on popular demand. shUnit2 output is now colorized based on the result of the asserts.

Changes and Enhancements

With the move to GitHub, the shUnit2 unit tests are run on every commit using the Travis CI continuous integration framework. Additionally, all code is run through ShellCheck on every commit.

Shell commands in shUnit2 are prefixed with '' so that they can be stubbed in tests.

Bug Fixes

shUnit2 no longer exits with an 'OK' result if there were syntax errors due to incorrect usage of the assert commands.

Deprecated Features

None.

Known Bugs and Issues

Zsh requires the shwordsplit option to be set. See the documentation for examples of how to do this.

Line numbers in assert messages do not work properly with BASH 2.x.

The Bourne shell of Solaris, BASH 2.x, and Zsh 3.0.x do not properly catch the SIGTERM signal. As such, shell interpreter failures due to such things as unbound variables cannot be caught. (See shunit_test_misc.sh)
