💅 syd-test

okay so welcome to the syd-test page, bestie — it lives in the General Commands Manual and honestly it's giving "the little test-runner that could" 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

syd-test — run syd integration tests 🧪✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

syd-test [-hlq] [<regex>|<number>|<number>..<number>]..

syd-test --prove[=<arg>..] [<regex>|<number>|<number>..<number>]..

so the shape of it is the command, then optionally a little cluster of single-letter flags -hlq, then zero-or-more things to select — and those things can be a <regex>, a <number>, or a range written like <number>..<number>. Type that range syntax exactly, ok? Two dots, no vibes-based improvisation. 💅

and there's also the --prove form, which is its own whole era:

syd-test --prove[=<arg>..] [<regex>|<number>|<number>..<number>]..

notice --prove takes optional <arg>.. glued on with an = — like --prove=<arg>.., lowercase <arg>, repeated — and then it also accepts the same <regex> / <number> / <number>..<number> selectors afterwards. 🌈

the flags, since we're listing them like the icons they are:

  • -h — one of the three single-letter flags in the [-hlq] cluster 🫶
  • -l — also in the cluster ✨
  • -q — the third one, still in the cluster 🎀
  • --prove[=<arg>..] — the long option, optionally carrying <arg>.. after an = 👑
fr fr, this page does not spell out what each of -h, -l, -q and --prove does inside — all we get is the shape above, so no, i'm not gonna make up meanings for you. we keep it accurate in this house 💀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

the syd-test utility may be used to run syd integration tests. that's the whole gig. that's the assignment. 🧚

one thing you literally cannot skip: it requires the syd-test-do utility to be in PATH. if it's not findable in your PATH, do not come crying to me, because the page said it first 😭
