The tests would be very simple, here is an example:
Given a script as below:
#! /bin/bash
set -e
# start a locator
gfsh start locator --name=locator1 --mcast-port=0
# start 2 servers on a random available port
for N in {1..2}
do
gfsh start server --locators=localhost[10334] --name=server$N
--server-port=0 --mcast-port=0
done
------------------------------------
The bats script looks like this:
#!/usr/bin/env bats
@test "gfsh is available" {
command -v gfsh
}
@test "starting geode locator and servers" {
run ./startAll.sh
[ $status -eq 0 ]
}
--------------------------------------
With the output:
./test.sh
✓ gfsh is available
✓ starting geode locator and servers
It can also generate a TAP-compliant [1] output and should be fairly easy
to integrate that into any build tool. It can assert based on output or
status, etc...
I'll say that I have no problem on going the JUnit route with the only
drawback being dealing with system calls (ProcessBuilder or
getRuntime.exec)... If that's the preferred approach, I'm ok with it.
