Bats 1.12.0
Usage: bats [OPTIONS] <tests>
bats [-h | -v]
<tests> is the path to a Bats test file, or the path to a directory
containing Bats test files (ending with ".bats")
-c, --count Count test cases without running any tests
--code-quote-style <style>
A two character string of code quote delimiters
or 'custom' which requires setting $BATS_BEGIN_CODE_QUOTE and
$BATS_END_CODE_QUOTE. Can also be set via $BATS_CODE_QUOTE_STYLE
--line-reference-format Controls how file/line references e.g. in stack traces are printed:
- comma_line (default): a.bats, line 1
- colon: a.bats:1
- uri: file:///tests/a.bats:1
- custom: provide your own via defining bats_format_file_line_reference_custom
with parameters <filename> <line>, store via `printf -v "$output"`
-f, --filter <regex> Only run tests that match the regular expression
--filter-status <status> Only run tests with the given status in the last completed (no CTRL+C/SIGINT) run.
Valid <status> values are:
failed - runs tests that failed or were not present in the last run
missed - runs tests that were not present in the last run
--filter-tags <comma-separated-tag-list>
Only run tests that match all the tags in the list (&&).
You can negate a tag via prepending '!'.
Specifying this flag multiple times allows for logical or (||):
`--filter-tags A,B --filter-tags A,!C` matches tags (A && B) || (A && !C)
-F, --formatter <type> Switch between formatters: pretty (default),
tap (default w/o term), tap13, junit, /<absolute path to formatter>
--gather-test-outputs-in <directory>
Gather the output of failing *and* passing tests
as files in directory (if existing, must be empty)
-h, --help Display this help message
-j, --jobs <jobs> Number of parallel jobs (requires GNU parallel or shenwei356/rush)
--parallel-binary-name Name of parallel binary
--no-tempdir-cleanup Preserve test output temporary directory
--no-parallelize-across-files
Serialize test file execution instead of running
them in parallel (requires --jobs >1)
--no-parallelize-within-files
Serialize test execution within files instead of
running them in parallel (requires --jobs >1)
--report-formatter <type> Switch between reporters (same options as --formatter)
-o, --output <dir> Directory to write report files (must exist)
-p, --pretty Shorthand for "--formatter pretty"
--print-output-on-failure Automatically print the value of `$output` on failed tests
-r, --recursive Include tests in subdirectories
--show-output-of-passing-tests
Print output of passing tests
-t, --tap Shorthand for "--formatter tap"
-T, --timing Add timing information to tests
-x, --trace Print test commands as they are executed (like `set -x`)
--verbose-run Make `run` print `$output` by default
-v, --version Display the version number
