## In bats, ! does not cause a test failure. Fold the `!` into the conditional!
|
||||
|
||||
### Problematic code:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
#!/usr/bin/env bats
|
||||
|
||||
@test "test" {
|
||||
# ... code
|
||||
! [ $status == 0 ]
|
||||
# ... more code
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Correct code:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
#!/usr/bin/env bats
|
||||
|
||||
@test "test" {
|
||||
# ... code
|
||||
[ $status != 0 ]
|
||||
# ... more code
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Rationale:
|
||||
|
||||
Bats uses `set -e` and `trap ERR` to catch test failures as early as possible.
|
||||
Although the return code of a `!` negated command is inverted, they will never trigger `errexit`, due to a bash design decision (see [Related Resources](#related-resources)).
|
||||
This means that tests which use `!` can never fail.
|
||||
|
||||
### Exceptions:
|
||||
|
||||
The return code of the last command in the test will be the exit code of the test function.
|
||||
This means that you can use `! <command>` on the last line of the test and it will still fail appropriately.
|
||||
However, you are encouraged to still transform the code in this case for consistency.
