Can't use shell parameters when "source"ing shunit2 about shunit2 HOT 2 CLOSED

I'm guessing that all you are missing is the need to shift all the command-line arguments off the stack before calling shunit2.

The following test code (saved as test_date_cmd.sh) demonstrates what I'm talking about. Notice the shift $# line just before shunit2 is called.

#!/bin/bash

# Echo any provided arguments.
[ $# -gt 0 ] && echo "#:$# 1:$1 2:$2 3:$3"

test_date_cmd() {
  ( date '+%a' >/dev/null 2>&1 )
  local rtrn=$?
  assertTrue "unexpected date error; ${rtrn}" ${rtrn}
}

# Eat all command-line arguments before calling shunit2.
shift $#
. ~/lib/sh/shunit2

Running the command without arguments:

$ ./test_date_cmd.sh 
test_date_cmd

Ran 1 test.

OK

Running the same command with arguments:

$ ./test_date_cmd.sh a b c
#:3 1:a 2:b 3:c
test_date_cmd

Ran 1 test.

OK

from shunit2.

So you want to test calling your script with some params? Is that what you're trying to achieve?
