shellspec-tester

This extension helps running shellspec tests and shows tests and results in the "Testing" tab.

Features

• See your specified tests in "Testing" tab
• Quickly go to each test
• Run tests
• Get test results
• Quickly create tests from snippets
• Initialise shellspec from command (Shellspec: Run shellspec init)

Snippets

This extension also contains snippets for many commonly used shellspec commands like:

• Creating a group
• Creating a test
• Add text block
• Expect (variable, path, output)

These can be invoked by typing "shellspec:" - vscode should then suggest the available templates.

Get native test view

If you have opened your workspace in a folder which has shellspec-tests, they will be automatically imported into VSCodes "Testing" tab.

The test detection uses the following command to detect specfiles:

bash shellspec --list specfiles

Found tests are then parsed (within VSCode extension) and categorised in the following structure:

• fileA_spec.sh
  • GroupA
    • SubgroupA
      • TestA
      • TestB
    • SubgroupB
  • GroupB
    • TestC
• fileB_spec.sh
  • GroupD
  • TestD

You can right click on any test or group to go to its specification in the specfile where it is defined.

Requirements

You need to have shellspec installed.

Settings

• shellspec.enable: Enable extension
• shellspec.executablePath: Path to shellspec executable or executable name (if in path)

Known Issues

My code is probably very inefficient, but I am not a javascript/typescript person and new to VSCode.

Disclaimer

This is my first VSCode extension, and I am not a typescript programmer. Everything is provided as-is. I do not guarantee anything, but I try my best to create a helpful extension.

Do you think you can do better? I would be happy to receive a Merge Request for fixes, new features, code cleanup...
