[Shunit2-users] Stubbing file tests in shUnit2

[Alex H. <ale...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I write about this question I asked at Stack Overflow here:
stackoverflow.com/questions/44870065/stubbing-file-tests-in-shunit2/44870101

As pointed out in that post, it is possible to stub the shell file tests
using code like:

[() {
  case "$*" in
  "-x /usr/local/rvm/bin/rvm")
    false
    ;;
  esac
}


Unfortunately, this breaks shUnit2 itself.

It is suggested in the above that this issue could be avoided if all calls
to external commands in shUnit2 were prefixed by command:

E.g. instead of (on line 17)

[ -n "${SHUNIT_VERSION:-}" ] && exit 0


we would have

command [ -n "${SHUNIT_VERSION:-}" ] && exit 0


I tested this - and applied to a few other commands that a user might want
to stub, like rm, mkdir, cat etc.

Is it possible for me to send in a patch? Does anyone see any potential
issue with what I am proposing here?

Thanks,
Alex
