I do not know of anything equivalent to Expect, but if you are using
OSProcess and CommandShell, then the scripting methods in CommandShell
such as #script:onFailureDo: and #if:then:else: may be of some interest.
There are examples in CommandShellTestCase in category "testing-scripts".
Basically it works like this:
result := CommandShell new
script: 'who
help
ls -l NOSUCHFILE
help'
onFailureDo: [:p | 'the pipeline collection that failed was ',
p printString].
or this:
CommandShell new
if: 'who
ls NOSUCHFILE
pwd'
then: ['the script succeeded']
else: ['the script failed']
