fish-shop/run-fishtape-tests

A GitHub action for running Fishtape tests.

---

Here's an example from the test workflow for Pond:

Prerequisites

This action requires fish shell. You can install it using the fish-shop/install-fish-shell action.

Usage

Add a uses step to your GitHub workflow as shown below:

- name: Run Fishtape tests
  uses: fish-shop/run-fishtape-tests@v2

By default, all files under $GITHUB_WORKSPACE with a .fish file extension are tested. To override the default behaviour, provide one or more space-separated pattern values to the patterns input. For example, to test all .fish files starting in the tests directory and descending into subdirectories:

- name: Run Fishtape tests
  uses: fish-shop/run-fishtape-tests@v2
  with:
    patterns: tests/**.fish

Each pattern value may include wildcards and/or brace expansion:

- name: Run Fishtape tests
  uses: fish-shop/run-fishtape-tests@v2
  with:
    patterns: tests/*.fish fixtures/**.fish {dir1,dir2}/**.fish ???-*.fish

Important

The ? wildcard character is deprecated and can be disabled via the fish feature flag qmark-noglob. Support for the ? wildcard may therefore be dependent upon the version of fish shell in use and/or the configuration of its feature flags.

By default, TAP output is piped to tap-diff for improved readability. To disable this functionality and produce raw TAP output set raw-output to 'true':

- name: Run Fishtape tests (raw TAP output)
  uses: fish-shop/run-fishtape-tests@v2
  with:
    patterns: tests/**.fish
    raw-output: 'true'

Inputs

Configure the action using the following inputs:

Name	Description	Default
patterns	A space-separated list of file patterns to match against when running tests; each pattern may include wildcards and/or brace expansions	**.fish
raw-output	The string value 'true' or 'false' indicating whether to generate raw TAP output or not; output is prettified using tap-diff when 'false'	false
title	The title to display in the job summary; can be used to distinguish multiple summaries generated from a single workflow	Test results

Outputs

The following outputs are made available to subsequent steps in a workflow:

Name	Description
total	The total number of tests run
passed	The number of tests that passed
failed	The number of tests that failed

Job summary

This action generates a job summary at run-time which can be viewed from the workflow run summary page:

Action versions

Use one of the following patterns when specifying the version reference for this action in your workflow (i.e. the {ref} value in uses: fish-shop/run-fishtape-tests@{ref}):

Pattern	Example	Description
vX	v1	the latest v1.* release including non-breaking changes and bug fixes
vX.Y	v1.1	the latest v1.1.* release including bug fixes
vX.Y.Z	v1.1.0	the v1.1.0 release only

Tip

The recommended pattern is vX (e.g. v1). This will ensure that the version of the action used in your workflow includes the latest non-breaking changes and bug fixes, and guarantees compatibility with previous versions of that major release number.

Using a main branch reference in your workflow is not recommended as this branch may include breaking changes intended for the next major release.
