Line endings in ${lines[@]} not sanitized #249
Description
Default line endings on different platforms are not stripped - making it hard to interact with native applications on Cygwin.
Consider the following test suite
@test 'Cygwin Python' {
run python3.8 -m this
[[ ${lines[0]} == 'The Zen of Python, by Tim Peters' ]]
}
@test 'Windows Python' {
run python -m this
[[ ${lines[0]} == 'The Zen of Python, by Tim Peters' ]]
}
Result:
✓ Cygwin Python
✗ Windows Python
(in test file test.bats, line 8)
`[[ ${lines[0]} == 'The Zen of Python, by Tim Peters' ]]' failed
2 tests, 1 failure
By the way: unless you already know what the issue is, bats gives you no aide for debugging. I suspected \r\n line endings from Windows Python. Let's sanitize explicitly
@test 'Windows Python' {
run python -m this
[[ ${lines[0]%[[:cntrl:]]} == 'The Zen of Python, by Tim Peters' ]]
}
...works...
✓ Cygwin Python
✓ Windows Python
