Support Bash "strict mode" (and fix one unit test) - #239
Merged
Conversation
A few different kinds of changes are made:
- Optional parameters/variables are changed to ${var-} to default to
empty or given defaults with ${var=...}.
- ((...)) arithmetic evaluation "fails" when the result happens to be
zero, so silence this with "|| true"This will help ensure that bashunit won't cause problems with tests that use "set -euo pipefail"

📚 Description
Some script authors like to use "unofficial Bash strict mode", enough so that supporting it shows up in comparisons of shell testing frameworks.
Case in point: enabling the -u option uncovered a bug in
test_unsuccessful_assert_is_directory_not_writablethat is fixed in this PR.🔖 Changes
set -euo pipefailenabled.$a_filewas supposed to be$a_directory).((...)), which exit 1 if their result happens to be zero, are fixed with|| true.check_duplicate_functionsdoes not appear to be intended to cause the script to fail, so it is also silenced with|| true.${1-}."${varname=default}".set_up) will not be run instead.✅ To-do list
CHANGELOG.mdto reflect the new feature or fixI updated the documentation to reflect the changes(Not sure there's anything to document, since this fix doesn't require users to do anything different.)
