Ability to define functions inside tests about bash_tap HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi Unode,

you didn't follow rule 1 of bash_tap.sh - "No multi-line Bash constructs".

Defining functions on multiple lines is fine in a helper script which you then include in your tests, so you could just add that function to your bash_tap_fd.sh helper.

If you really insist on defining functions in your tests, you'll have to do it like this:

$ cat foo.t 
#!/usr/bin/env bash
source bash_tap.sh

function nothinghere { echo "Hello world"; }
nothinghere | grep Hello
nothinghere | grep hcsvntdrcns

$ bash foo.t 
1..1
# $ function nothinghere { echo "Hello world"; }
# $ nothinghere | grep Hello
# >>> Hello world
# $ nothinghere | grep hcsvntdrcns
not ok 1 - nothinghere | grep hcsvntdrcns

And by the way, nice work taking this little abomination of a Bash script to places where it has no right to be! :)

Thanks for the clarification.
I'll use the bash_tap_fd.sh file for any future code reuse.

If only all "little abominations" out there managed to get the job done, the world... ;)
